Putting "gifs.com/save/" in front of any Vine link (or Instagram!) converts it into a gif - you'll need an account. Can also gif live streams (FB, Twitch, Youtube Live, Periscope), and any other video website by going to the home page.

  This account only ever seems to have replied to three things, one >1000 days ago. Really weird. (I don't think HN completely deletes comments like this, so I don't think there's some huge pile of extra stuff I can't see, unlike with reddit)

  Co-founder popping in! We make a .mp4 with sound! You'll get the .gif automatically: https://j.gifs.com/Q1AA6L.gif https://j.gifs.com/Q1AA6L.gif and you can change the extension for the .mp4: https://j.gifs.com/Q1AA6L.mp4 https://j.gifs.com/Q1AA6L.mp4 You can click on add effects to do a bunch of neat stuff as well.

This doesn't look like a GIF. I didn’t count the colors, but that looks like full/true color to me. I have no problem with that, but it says it’s a GIF…?

  Sadly the name has come to mean "moving sequence of frames" nowadays. WebM and MP4 provide this functionality using significantly less bandwidth. This may be of interest: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pixel+art&tbs=itp:animated,isz:l&tbm=isch https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pixel+art&tbs=itp:animate... http://revangale.tumblr.com/ http://revangale.tumblr.com/

Your gif converter is neat. But why do you re-encode the mp4? I understand that's necessary for the general case of taking in an arbitrary video, but since you're ingesting a pre-processed mp4 and producing an mp4, why the lossy conversion?
