GIF Brewery by Gfycat gives everyone the power to create stunning GIFs from video files. It’s simple, powerful, intuitive to use – and now it’s FREE!
Also, today marks the release of GIF Brewery 3.1 on the Mac App Store. It features improvements to screen recording, Gfycat integration, .gif opening, and lots of other updates and fixes.
The GIF Brewery 3.0.1 preview beta has been updated and is currently available until April 15, 2016.
The important changes are:
- In 3.0, GIF Brewery would abort *.gif creation if a frame couldn’t be found. In 3.0.1, it’ll simply ignore this frame and continue building the *.gif. This mostly happened if the end point was set to the very end of some videos.
- While looking at the Frames pane, pressing the “Create GIF” in the bottom left will use the selected frames during GIF creation instead of all the frames (if selection is two or more frames).
- Overlays now have a simple scale property.
- “Movie > Toggle Grid” re-added.

The changes are also included in the brand new welcome screen that appears when you open GIF Brewery 3.
Future of GIF Brewery 3
GIF Brewery 3 is now the definitive version of GIF Brewery. All future updates will be for GIF Brewery 3 and will be available for free.
There will be some minor updates, such as 3.0.1 and 3.0.2, that’ll focus on bug fixes & minor new features.
We’ll also be creating some step-by-step walkthroughs for some of the new features soon (like iOS recording and new saved frames feature) and posting them here on gifbrewery.com.
We’ll also begin work on the next big update, 3.1. We have some initial ideas, but feel free too continue provide suggestions via e-mail or @gifbrewery. We will also include new features from the next version of OS X.

Fate of GIF Brewery 2.3.5

Have one on us (figuratively)…
We’d like to offer a huge thanks to everyone has tried GIF Brewery 3 over the past months and provided invaluable feedback.
Finally, thanks to all GIF Brewery 2.3.5 and prior users. We hope you enjoy GIF Brewery 3 and its future updates.
See you on the 25th!
The final GIF Brewery 3 pre-release version is now available at its normal spot.
This update includes:
- Bug fixes
- Users can see the palette GIF Brewery used to create the GIF.
- Users can now set which area GIF Brewery should extract the palette from. This is accesssed from the “GIF” menu.
- A caption’s font color can be transparent.
There may be future updates for bug fixes, but the next time most see GIF Brewery 3 will be in the Mac App Store with a brand new icon and maybe some other surprises! We’re also actively working on re-doing tutorials for GIF Brewery 3.
GIF Brewery 3 Upgrade Reminder
As a reminder to those who haven’t been following GIF Brewery 3’s progress, GIF Brewery 3 will be a separate app from the current GIF Brewery 2.3.5 release. So, if you love your Perian or Quicktime components, you’ll still be able to use GIF Brewery 2.3.5 alongside GIF Brewery 3.
However, prior to GIF Brewery 3’s release, GIF Brewery 2.3.5 will be removed from sale from the Mac App Store. If you’ve already purchased GIF Brewery 2.3.5, you’ll still be able to re-download it from your Purchases tab in the Mac App Store. GIF Brewery 2.3.5 support will also officially end with Yosemite – though it should run fine on OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
As for GIF Brewery 3, when it is released, it’ll be a free app for a week to help people upgrade without having to pay twice. Then it’ll be $0.99 (or local equivalent) for another week, before returning to its current pricing. We’ll announce the release date ahead of time here on gifbrewery.com and @gifbrewery on twitter.
As always, thanks for all the support and happy GIF brewing!

The GIF Brewery 3 beta has been updated with some bug fixes and minor feature additions. The beta has also been extended until July 20. You can read more about the changes on the beta site.
Also, this is the penultimate beta. The next beta will be the final one before release on the Mac App Store. We hope you’ve enjoyed the betas and we’ll discuss more about release and future GIF Brewery updates when the final beta is released.
Until then, happy GIF Brewing!
The GIF Brewery 3 beta has been updated as we get closer to release.
One major change in the new beta is the ability to export your clip as an *.mp4. This process uses the same frames as your GIF. This feature is experimental and we’ll be looking to potentially expand on it in later post-3.0 updates.
There are some caveats for the created *.mp4. It does not contain the original video file’s sound. Also, the *.mp4 also do not use the color optimization or the loop count options.
The GIF Brewery 3 beta has been updated again! We tidied up some bugs, tinkered with the UI, added some more options, created a new Welcome Screen, and optimized GIFs. Hope you enjoy!
Of course, GIF Brewery 3 will still create Taylor Swift and/or cat GIFs too…
Is this how you do social media?
