The process of adding GIF filters to a file in Wondershare UniConverter comprises two sections, where in the first section, you apply filters to a video. In the second section, you convert the video to GIF. The entire procedure to use GIF filters with UniConverter is explained below:
Section 1. Add Filters to Video
Step 1. Click Add Files and Import a Video
Launch Wondershare UniConverter on your Windows or Mac computer, ensure that the Convert tile is selected from the top, click Add Files, select the video file in the box that appears, and click Open from the bottom-right corner of the box.

Step 2. Go to Effect and Apply Filters

Optionally use the Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation sliders to make further adjustments to the applied filter. Click OK from the bottom to save the changes.

Step 3. Select Output Format and Convert
Once you are back on the main window, open the Output Format menu at the bottom, select your preferred output format (MP4 is recommended and selected in this case). Confirm (or specify) the output folder from the bottom, and click Start All.

Section 2. Convert Video to GIF
Step 4. Launch GIF Maker and Import the Video
