## What is ZoomGIF?

Turn any photo into a smooth, cinematic zoom GIF in seconds. Frame a wide opening shot, push toward the punchline, drop a caption, and send a looping reaction your friends will actually screenshot. ZoomGIF gives you the precise framing control that quick GIF apps skip.

DIRECT THE ZOOM, FRAME BY FRAME
Most GIF apps zoom for you. ZoomGIF hands you the camera. Pinch and drag to set three frames yourself:
- Start wide on the full scene
- Build through a middle frame
- Land on the gotcha detail
You control exactly where the push begins, bends, and lands.

PICK A MOTION STYLE
Match the mood with one tap: Smooth, Dramatic, Chopped, Glide, Bounce, Jump Scare, or Ken Burns. The same photo can be a slow cinematic push or a hard snap-zoom punchline.

ADD A MEME CAPTION
Type your line, then drag and resize it anywhere on the frame. Place the setup up top and the punchline down low, exactly where it hits hardest.

PREVIEW, THEN EXPORT A LOOPING SQUARE GIF
Watch the motion loop before you commit. Export a clean square GIF sized for Messages, social apps, and reaction threads.

SEND IT ANYWHERE
- Save straight to Photos
- Copy to the clipboard for any app
- Send right inside Messages
- Tap New GIF and start the next one

BUILT-IN MESSAGES DRAWER
A native Messages extension keeps your saved GIFs one tap away, so your best reactions are always ready to fire back mid-conversation.

100% ON DEVICE
No account. No sign-up. No cloud upload. Every photo and GIF is created right on your iPhone and never leaves it.
