Make GIFs from YouTube videos
GIFit! - Create GIFs from YouTube Videos - Chrome Extension
"GIFit!" is a Chrome extension designed to simplify the process of creating GIFs. By installing GIFit!, users can select portions of YouTube videos and convert them into GIF format instantly. Notably, the extension only works with YouTube's HTML5 mode, and may not work with videos that forcibly use the Flash player. GIFs created with GIFit! can be large in size, though future updates aim to produce smaller GIFs. Note that the process can take a few seconds due to the large size of the GIFs.
