gifify

Why we included this project

gifify pulls ffmpeg, ImageMagick, and the giflossy gifsicle fork into a single Node.js command, so you don't have to assemble that conversion pipeline yourself. You can grab just the slice of a movie you want, then adjust fps, color count, compression, resize, reverse the clip, or burn in subtitles, with everything processed in memory and no temp files written. A CLI and a programmatic streaming interface are both there, which means the same conversion can run inside a Node script or sit in a stdin/stdout pipe like any other Unix tool. Worth knowing before you rely on it: the author has stepped away and the project is no longer actively maintained, so it's best treated as a proven utility to fork or learn from rather than the backbone of a long-term pipeline.
