Gifninja – Free Online GIF Maker for Google+

Photos are the main shares on social networks. Facebook is for JPEG and PNG images; YouTube is a home for photo slideshows (watch our guide about it); Google+ is totally different.

One more sample – video to GIF conversion:

Please note that all created GIFs are automatically saved to a public web gallery under the “Newest Animated Gifs” tab. So if you want to keep your GIF private after the download:

1. copy the URL from the upper green box;
2. paste the link in the browser;
3. delete your file from public gallery this way.

Though image deletion seems complicated, there is almost nothing to complain about the app. Gifninja is free, clear, fast. It creates GIF animations of good quality, but sometimes the GIF maker adds black borders around original photos.
