Convert any video to a GIF with a fast, simple editor. Trim the clip, pick the frames you want, and export a smooth, high-quality GIF.

Live Photos and photos to GIF

Bring Live Photos to life as looping GIFs, or stitch a series of photos into a single animated GIF.

Add text, captions, and stickers

Crop, loop, and fine-tune

Crop and rotate, reverse or boomerang the loop, adjust the speed, and apply filters and effects until it feels just right.

Combine GIFs

Merge multiple GIFs into one animation, or layer clips together to build something new.

Share anywhere

Export GIFs sized for iMessage, Instagram, TikTok, Discord, and Slack — or save them straight to your camera roll.

Free on every Apple device

GIF Maker is a native app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. Download free, then go Pro when you want watermark-free HD exports and unlimited projects.
