20 Apps That Will Help You Increase Productivity at Work

Staying productive at work is something that many of us often struggle with throughout the day. And don’t get me wrong, it’s not that we are incapable of doing anything, it’s that sometimes we can’t rouse ourselves to get things done. This struggle often results in the wrong ranking of plans, even when we think we are on the right way and follow the established collection procedures.

What’s the best way to handle this stuff, you guys are asking? One thing which is particularly helpful to people in the long run is to search, find, and use the best working methods available. Another, is to select some third-party apps that will eventually leverage your productivity at work.

For this reason we have decided to share this cool infographics with some of the best apps to help you be effective and accurate in your daily complicated tasks. Check out the full list below and let us know what do you use to stay productive.

Imgur’s Web Tool Makes It Easier To Convert Any Video to GIF

GIFs are the internet. Wherever you go across the net, you see a lot of crazy photos posted all over web. Whether these are cats, dogs or any other pet you have, let alone extreme and funny activities or just a crying newborn baby take– It’s all there. And people like GIFS, really, they do, but what is the most convenient way to make one? There are many tools to create animated GIFs online, that can easily be found on the Internet by doing a simple search on Google.

Imgur, the popular photo sharing service, today released another tool to the pond, but not JUST another one, if you will, but more like the easiest of ’em all. Yeah, the online tool (sorry, mobile users but service is currently only available on the desktop site) which goes under the name Video to GIF will help you turn a video into a GIF image by simply copying the wanted URL address from a wide range of popular video websites directly into the given input window. From there on, when you’re surfing in the following link (imgur.com/vidgif) just click and drag to set your start time and drag to adjust the total runtime, rightly after. You can add any text at your choice if you want and then choose the “Create GIF” option to officially start the process.

The tool is not perfect, but yet allows us to create some truly beautiful high-quality GIF images. Sometimes it will save the file into a .gif and in some other occasions will push it into Imgur’s GIFV format in the form of a .gifv extension.

 Let us know what you think about the new service.
