Summary
Between the desktop and online solutions, I personally would prefer the desktop one for it is more efficient and convenient. From my experience, uploading/converting an MKV file online is time-consuming, especially when your video is of large size. Moreover, the online converter has size limitation, you can only free upload the file under 100M. The most annoying thing is that you can't trim the part desired online. The online GIF maker can only turn the whole MKV file to GIF, which is redundant. Yet, if you already have a trimmed clip, then online conversion might be a good choice for you. In all, it's up to you to decide. Take your pick!
