Does the Premium Version of PicGIF Worth to Convert Videos into GIFs?
Difficult to answer because it is subjective and depends on you need and budget. We for example has almost all of the Adobe CS products for Production works, so practically we do not need, but; loading a bigger application for small work, sometimes need to think carefully. If you do not use any advanced Photo Editing Software, you can consider to purchase, specially for the Internet Marketers, it is a good tool to promote posts and sell products on Google Plus.
