Domenico is a Linux-focused desktop application that provides a graphical front end for FFmpeg, making it easier to turn MP4 and MOV clips into looping animated GIFs without using terminal commands.
It’s designed for short clips and is available as an AppImage for Linux, with an optional JAR build for cross-platform use on systems with Java installed.
Domenico does not bundle FFmpeg — it uses your system installation.
This is free and open source software.
