Instagiffer Portable

Instagiffer Portable is an application that provides you with the possibility to easily create .GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) files from videos on your computer or on the Internet. It offers the same functionality as the installer version, but it can be placed on a portable drive for fast access.

The application is easy to install and pretty straightforward to use, allowing you to easily locate the clip you want to create a .GIF from and to apply various settings before actually transforming it. You can also capture a region of the screen to build the animated content from.

With Instagiffer Portable, you can choose the exact movie scene you want to save as an animated image by setting the start time and the length of the .GIF.

The utility enables you to change the smoothness, frame size and quality of the sequence you wish to transform, as well as to modify the brightness and playback rate.

The software offers the possibility to apply certain effects to the resulting animated images, such as color fade, oil painting, sepia, etc. At the same time, it enables you to add captions to your .GIF files.

You can have a look at the frames in the video courtesy of a “Viewable Region” on the right side of the program's window, which also allows you to delete images from the sequence, should you want to. The app also allows you to view frames in Windows Explorer, and to easily import, export or delete them.

As soon as you have created a .GIF from one of your favorite videos, you can choose to upload it to Imgur straight from within the application.

Overall, Instagiffer Portable is an easy-to-use application that comes as advertised, allowing you to create .GIF files from your favorite videos in almost no time, although creating long .GIFs might take some time.
