Viscom Store GIF Converter is a free software that helps to convert video to gif. Unique feature of this software is that it lets you add text and image watermark on output gif. You will be able to choose a custom background color for both text and image watermark. For text watermark, you will also be able to set transparency and use any desired font color.
It supports multiple video files for conversion. Moreover, you can even preview the output file before starting the conversion process. All these handy features make it different than similar tools.
However, there are few bugs that I found during my testing.
First of all, it lets you add multiple video files, but converts only the first one. Secondly, the image watermark (overlay) didn’t appear after some adjustments.
In the above screenshot, you can see its attractive interface.
