GIFs are a great way to express emotion. They’re usually short scenes from popular TV shows and movies, turned into short video snippets that express how we feel.

Feeling sad? There’s a GIF for that.GIFs are an integral part of communicating on social media. Twitter and Reddit users have been using them effectively for years. Even Facebook made them an official part of the platform.

Use Biteable to make custom videos to turn into GIFs
In this post, we’re going to show you how to make a GIF from a video, but before we start, remember you can use Biteable to quickly create a short video perfect for making a GIF! The advantage of using Biteable is that you can choose an animated or live action scene, write in your own text, and choose your own colors.

Why use a GIF instead of a video?
GIFs are short, they rarely last over 5 seconds, and they usually have small file sizes too, so they don’t prevent web pages from loading quickly. And they’re usually charged with emotion — scenes that become GIFs generally express emotions in a big, recognizable way.
There’s no mistaking this scene for anything other than excitement. GIFs tap into the shared stories we consume. Sharing a scene from a specific show or movie brings up emotions tied to that movie and add power to your point. And, for those of us who watch way too much TV, they instantly connect us to other pop culture fanatics.If you want to make an instant emotional connection with your audience, why not post a GIF?
