Drop to GIF

In plain words

Drop to GIF is a Mac application that converts movies into GIF files. Users can drag and drop video files onto the app to quickly generate animated GIFs. The tool is designed for anyone who wants to create GIFs from video content, including clips from streaming services or personal recordings. It simplifies what would otherwise be a complex conversion process into a straightforward drag-and-drop operation.
