Imgur says hundreds of video sites are supported, which means everything from YouTube to Vimeo should be fair play. We tried it out, and the results are pretty solid\u2014the quality is great, and there aren\u2019t any unsightly watermarks. Thank goodness for that.<\/p>\n<p>The entire process\u2014from entering the URL, to choosing your GIF length (the max is 15 seconds), to processing\u2014takes about 10 minutes. Very little effort is required on your part, so there\u2019s no reason not to try it out. If files end up being over 10MB, Imgur will automatically convert it to GIFV, creating a more optimized file.<\/p>\n<p>There aren\u2019t very many customization options offered through the tool, though you can add text. Imgur\u2019s new option isn\u2019t the only GIF creation tool out there\u2014Giphy\u2019s is pretty much identical\u2014but it does make the creation of these entertaining cat loops much more accessible.
