Hello folks,

My query is regarding gfycat.com . If any one knows about this site, they are converting bigger videos into short gif files. My query is about whether its a programming concept by website behind all this or they are using any software for this. If its a software then where can I get it online paid or free.I really want urgent can you help me out. I am working on one of my site for which I need same function with more addons. Any useful info. on this site will also be welcomed.

With regards,
 
Have you tried Googling it? Include your OS in the keywords. There are many ways to do it.
 
I assume you want to do this at the command line. There appear to be two steps in the process:

1. Convert a video to a series of still images.
2. Convert a series of still images to an animated gif.

And there seems to be more than one way to do each step. You can evidently use VLC or Mplayer for step 1, and ImageMagick, Gifsicle, or Giflossy for step 2.

This looks like a promising wrapper of all the steps: https://github.com/vvo/gifify Haven't tried it, though.
 
You can also do it just with ffmpeg/avconv, plus there are other tools to make them especially efficient. Google returns tons of useful documentation on doing this, in several different ways.
