Want to turn your Vine video clips into an animated GIF? A new Mac app makes it a snap.
Over the weekend, Twitter engineer Esten Hurtle created VineGifR, a simple Mac app that turns a Vine URL into an animated GIF file.
The app -- which is still in its early stages -- is incredibly easy to use. Just open it up, paste in a Vine URL and select the file name and where you want to save your GIF.
Once you do that, the finished product looks like this:
Right now, the output size for a 6-second video GIF is a bit large at about 2MB per file, but Hurtle says he'll look at ways to reduce the file size so this can be used on sites such as Imgur.
This is only Hurtle's second ever Mac app, which makes the fact that this works so much cooler.
You can download the pre-built binary from Hurtle's website or follow the progress on Github.
As we said, the app is still developing, but we're totally impressed with the results.
