Make Video to GIF

Make Video to GIF is an iOS app for iPhone and iPad that turns short videos into animated GIF files for messages, community threads, memes, and reactions. Use it when you want a lightweight loop from a screen recording, camera clip, or library video without desktop software or a long editing workflow.

Built for

Chatters who need quick loops, creators who want compact motion, Reddit or Discord members, students sharing tutorial moments, and professionals illustrating a UI flow. If you searched how to make a GIF on iPhone, the path here is direct: pick a video, trim, tune settings, export, share.

Why it helps

Long videos are hard to send; heavy files clog chats. Many editors bury the few controls that matter. Make Video to GIF focuses on short loops with trim, crop, FPS, loop count, and encoder choice so you can balance motion quality and file size for fast uploads.

Your workflow

Import from your library or use the Share extension with a single movie. Trim to the seconds you need. Crop with aspect presets, set FPS and loop behavior, pick encoding quality, export on device, review size when shown, then use the iOS share sheet. In practice: select, trim, adjust, create, share.

What you can do

• Trim the timeline to the exact moment

• Crop and set aspect before export

• Adjust frames per second for smooth or compact motion

• Set loop count, including infinite loop

• Choose between encoder modes for size versus palette detail

• Track progress and cancel long exports

• Reopen projects to tweak settings and re-export

From Photos and other apps

Send one movie from Photos, Files, or compatible apps into Make Video to GIF through the system Share menu when the clip is already open somewhere else.

What you get

Standard GIF files on your device, processed locally, then shared like any other file through iOS. File size grows with duration, resolution, FPS, and encoder - combine the controls when you need a smaller attachment for messaging apps.

Processing is aimed at producing a finished GIF on your device. For details on what information may be collected, how it is used, and your choices, read the Privacy Policy linked at the end of this text.

Good to know

Short clips with clear motion usually look best. Very long sources inflate file size, so trim aggressively for chatfriendly results. For smaller files, use a shorter trim, a tighter crop, a moderate frame rate, and the encoder option that fits your subject; use on-screen size hints when the app shows them. Yes, you can use Make Video to GIF for memes reaction beats, punchlines, repeatable loops. The app runs on both iPhone and iPad. After export, the share sheet lets you send the GIF to Messages, Mail, AirDrop, other apps, or save it to Photos.

Tips for smooth playback

Stable lighting in the source helps. Skip very high FPS on mostly static talking head clips. Keep durations short when you need fast uploads on slower networks.

Everyday uses

Share a reproducible UI bug clip, a short product motion snippet, a class explanation, or a funny highlight without making everyone download a full video.

Where it fits

People use Make Video to GIF to react faster, joke with friends, save a memorable second, and communicate visually without a steep learning curve, but with real export controls when file size and looping matter.

Across apps and communities

Turn a screen recording into a GIF for Slack-style threads, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or forums where an animated image loads faster than video. Content teams capture a quick product interaction; gamers save a highlight; friends trade reaction loops that feel more alive than a still screenshot.

Give it a try

Pick a clip, trim to the best part, tune the GIF settings once, export, and share. If you like the result, keep the project and iterate until the loop feels right.
