Simple steps to making a GIF

Start out by finding which video you’ll be using for your gif. Once you’ve found the video you’d like to use, go ahead and upload it to your youtube account. Make sure the video is set to public view, it won’t work if it’s private.

Upload your video by pasting the url into giphy.com. Your video will pop up as soon as you paste the url. You can then slide the blocks to the starting and ending place that you want.

Once you’re all done with that, scroll on down to the bottom and select “create gif”. That will start the process of transforming your video into a gif.
