GIF Brewery 3 was designed to help you create animated GIFs on your Mac computer. The program is very intuitive, provides you with multiple GIF editing options, and gives you access to quality output files within moments, without slowing down your computer in the process.
You can choose between 4 modes of creating a GIF: from a video within your Mac, from a URL taking you to the video you wish to transform into a GIF, by recording your desktop activity or by capturing content from your webcam. The program provides you with multiple editing options. For example, you can attach text content to your GIF, include an image from your Mac, add animations, etc.
Once you finish configuring the output settings according to your needs, you can either save the GIF to your local folders or you can post the animation on the Gfycat website or share it via email or Messages (Mac's instant messaging tool). It would've been great if the program also offered options for sharing on social media websites, such as Facebook or Twitter.
Another thing missing from this utility is the ability to create animated GIFs from images.
Still, the program comes without a price tag. So, it's worth giving it a try if the aforementioned aspects don't mean anything to you.
