This is a macOS app for the [`gifski` encoder](https://gif.ski), which converts videos to GIF animations using [`pngquant`](https://pngquant.org)'s fancy features for efficient cross-frame palettes and temporal dithering. It produces animated GIFs that use thousands of colors per frame.

Gifski supports all the video formats that macOS supports (`.mp4` or `.mov` with H264, HEVC, ProRes, etc). The [QuickTime Animation format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_Animation) is not supported. Use [ProRes 4444 XQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_ProRes) instead. It's more efficient, more widely supported, and like QuickTime Animation, it also supports alpha channel.

Requires macOS 10.13 or later.

### System service

Gifski includes a [system service](https://www.computerworld.com/article/2476298/os-x-a-quick-guide-to-services-on-your-mac.html) that lets you quickly convert a video to GIF from the **Services** menu in any app that provides a compatible video file.

## Building from source

To build the app in Xcode, you need to have [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) and GCC 8 installed first:

```sh
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
brew install gcc@9 SwiftLint
xcode-select --install
```


## FAQ

### Can I contribute localizations?

No, we're not interested in localizing the app.
