    There are many software to convert video to gif. I converted a 8 seconds video to a gif file but the file generated is about 2.4 mb which is too large to incorporate into website. However there are some webmaster who uses gif in their website and the size is only about 24 kb :eek: ! Examples of such gif file is http://www.labnol.org/wp/images/2008/06/firefox3selecttext-thumb.gif on the post http://www.labnol.org/software/brow...ect-multiple-lines-of-text-in-firefox-3/3598/

    How do I manage to convert large gif to smaller size with animtaion ofcourse?!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try compressing the file(s) using image compressor software from maybe somewhere like download.com for a free version or trial.

    I use jasc animation shop whenever I convert an .avi file to .gif and it comes out fine depending on how big the original video file was.

    well, if u dont wanna your generated file with some bothering problem like upper, u may not try a free one. And im using Pavtube Video Converter which can convert between lots of formats. of course, it can convert flv to gif. And the output quality can be greatly guaranteed. U can have a try.

    I use Movavi Video Converter, it can convert almost all kinds of video formats, including FLV to JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF format. Quick converting and easy to use.

    Sometimes I used VidGif. It's simple tool which creates video to gif and only and it has no any edit features for screen area.

    I use Mac iMovie to capture images from videos to save as GIF. It's easy-to-use. Try it.
