GIFit!

Make GIFs from YouTube videos

What is GIFit!?

"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.

Decent extension, does the job. But it appears to inject itself into the navbar twice, resulting in two "GIFit!" buttons at the very right.

Works well, love the integration right on YT videos. Have an issue where there is always a black frame at the end of the GIF no matter the length, is that a bug ?
