Great for make gifs from videos. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lucas O. | Artista grafico, Arts and Crafts, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2016 **What do you like best about giflayer API?** It's a good Video to Gif online software, good choice for make gifs easily , you have a free version with up to 25 gifs , and the premium are a little bit expansive if you think that at this time there are different free options with the same futures. **What do you dislike about giflayer API?** Well i think due to limited interest as they say in their webpage the software is not available anymore. I dislike that for the same price or less you can have the same or better product. **Recommendations to others considering giflayer API:** No special recommendation as is very easy to use , if it's still working , try to use not very high resolution videos , and just have fun with that. **What problems is giflayer API solving and how is that benefiting you?** No business problems in particular, i used few times for make some gif for create some interesting effects in my web page but nothing more. ### 2. Simple to use **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Cosmetics | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 04, 2016 **What do you like best about giflayer API?** giflayer API was* (it is currently not active) extremely user friendly, the final product (gif) is seamless and smooth (30 FPS at max but you can customize this) and the tools (crop, resize, customizable fps, start/end points, etc.) allow you to really customize your gif. You could also choose your payment frequency which I find to be really helpful. You had the option to use it without signing up as well. **What do you dislike about giflayer API?** As of now you are unable to add a text overlay (or at least I've not found a way to do so). They've also suspended the product for now due to limited usage. **Recommendations to others considering giflayer API:** If you will be creating content daily I would recommend basic or pro versions but if you will only be creating content a few times a month then stick with the trial version (maximum of 25 gifs/month). This isn't a program that is for the average influencer/user. Some knowledge of coding will be necessary but only a very basic knowledge. I shopped around a bit prior to committing to giflayer API and found that the ROI was the best (I have the pro version) bang for my buck. **What problems is giflayer API solving and how is that benefiting you?** With running large social media accounts centered around memes and gifs I was facing a hard time of finding content that wasn't already circulating as well as finding the original creators to give due credit. giflayer API has made creating content much easier and has helped the social media accounts to have more validity. ## giflayer API Discussions - [What is giflayer API used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-giflayer-api-used-for) - [View giflayer API pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/giflayer-api/reviews?section=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-21+16%3A55%3A32+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=3d868a1c-1cf7-4e3c-b734-911074e3b72f&secure%5Btoken%5D=8c7ac0c826873aa08670b5579580c2920fec38bb77b4ae2fb2ba9cf47cfecd52&format=llm_user) ## Top giflayer API Alternatives - [VideoLan](https://www.g2.com/products/videolan/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (624 reviews) - [Konvey](https://www.g2.com/products/jerry-nweke-konvey/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (159 reviews) - [Handbrake](https://www.g2.com/products/handbrake/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (153 reviews)
