ThunderSoft SWF to GIF Converter

Giving a personal touch to a presentation or website can be done by enhancing them with various pictures and videos. When it comes to creating short clips, an abundance of applications provide different tools, such as ThunderSoft SWF to GIF Converter which lets you convert SWF files to GIF animations to use throughout your projects.

Two modes to convert files

You don't have to worry whether or not the application can run on your system, as it takes up about 5 Mb of space on your hard disk drive and little resources are used. The main window is fitted with all available features. You are able to get a file converted in a matter of seconds, ignoring advanced settings.
A generous preview section is put at your disposal. Unfortunately, you are only able to load files through the integrated menu, drag and drop not being supported. Moreover, content of a SWF file you import can only be viewed while choosing to convert a single file, switching to batch mode replacing the player with a list containing desired items.

Crop and add logos to your animations

In addition to using files from your hard disk drive, the application puts a tool at your disposal with the help of which you can input a URL to get ahold of a flash animation from the Internet.
Furthermore, accessing the “Edit” tab gives you the possibility to carefully trim the clip to export just a desired part. An image file can be loaded and used as a logo.
Last but not least, several output settings are found in a dedicated tab, such as destination folder, frame rate, speed, as well as size. However, choosing to convert offers little options to select frames to be captured, so you can only export the whole SWF file.

In conclusion

To sum it up, ThunderSoft SWF to GIF Converter manages to live up to expectations, even though it's not the best of its kind. The possibility to download desired files greatly tips the scales in its favor and available options are easy to use, getting you the desired result in no time at all.
