What it does

Swipe · 6
01From a videoChoose up to 15 seconds on the filmstrip and watch it loop before you make it.
02From photosTurn 2 to 50 photos into a slideshow or stop-motion. Put them in order and choose how long each one shows.
03Fit under N MBPick 2, 5, 8 or 10 MB, or your own limit. The app chooses the size, smoothness and colours that fit.
04Size, speed and bounceSmall, Medium or Large; 8, 12 or 15 frames a second; half, normal or double speed; loop, or play forward and back.
05Meme captionsBold white text with a black outline at the top and bottom, in any language your phone can show.
06MP4 tooAlso save a short, silent MP4. It's often about 10× smaller and sharper, and many chat apps turn GIFs into videos anyway.

Three steps

  1. Pick a video or photos

    From your gallery, or share them in from another app.

  2. Choose the part and style

    Trim, set the size and speed, and add a caption. The preview loops like the result.

  3. Make it, then share

    It's made in the background and saved to Pictures/GIF Maker. Share it straight from the app.

Why are GIFs so big?

A GIF keeps every frame as a picture of up to 256 colours, so 5 seconds at 480 px and 15 frames a second is often 3–8 MB. Use Fit under MB, a smaller size or fewer frames, or save an MP4 as well.

What if it can't fit my limit?

The app tells you before you make it. Shorten the part or use fewer photos, or choose a bigger limit.

Does the MP4 have sound?

No, it's silent, like a GIF. It plays once; chat apps usually loop short silent videos themselves. Bounce is built into the MP4, so it looks the same.

Are my videos uploaded?

No. Everything happens on your phone, and making GIFs works without internet.
