Turn scattered photos and short clips into a polished GIF or video without wrestling with complicated editors. Make a slideshow, convert video to GIF, and save or share the result in just a few taps. WHAT IT DOES Build a photo slideshow with per-slide captions, choose a duration for each slide, reorder shots, swipe to delete, and pick a transition for every slide. Use cut or crossfade for free, preview your result, then create a GIF or create a video and share it or save it to Photos. You can also choose canvas templates for Square, Twitter, Stories, Reels, TikTok, and Pinterest layouts, with a safe-zone overlay to help place text. Make a video to GIF or video from your clips with the same editing controls, then check the GIF preview before you save. If you want smoother-looking animated GIF results with smaller files, turn on Smart palette & dithering. For single-photo motion, Loop Animator turns one picture into a looping GIF with zoom-in, pan-left, parallax, sparkle, or rain presets. Add the finishing touches with a built-in music library, color controls like brightness, contrast, and saturation, and per-slide voiceover in Pro. You can also place stickers, remove a background and swap in a solid or gradient backdrop, and choose custom transitions like cross zoom, glitch, push, ripple, or polaroid flip. GREAT FOR Make a birthday slideshow from your photo library, turn a product clip into a GIF for messages or social posts, create a looping profile animation from one selfie with the parallax or sparkle preset, fit travel photos into a Stories or Reels canvas, add captions to each slide for a recap, or save a quick highlight video with music for sharing later. WHY IT WORKS Slideshow Maker GIF Creator helps people turn photos and clips into shareable GIF and video projects on iPhone. Your recent slideshow, video to GIF, and loop animation projects are autosaved on the Projects home screen, so you can come back and keep editing instead of starting over. It also keeps GIF and video creation separate and clear, with dedicated Create GIF and Create MP4 actions, plus preview, Share, and Save options after export. PRO FEATURES Free exports include a small app watermark, while Pro removes it. Pro also adds unlimited saved projects, premium canvas templates, more music tracks, custom transitions, more stickers, per-slide voiceover, background removal, cloud sync for projects, and higher export quality options including 4K on supported devices. Pricing: $4.99/week (3-day free trial) · $24.99/year (SAVE 90% vs weekly) · $49.99 lifetime. Photos access is used to pick media and save GIFs or videos to Photos. Microphone access is only for recording per-slide voiceover, and recordings stay on your device until export. Start a new project, make your first GIF or slideshow, and keep your favorite moments moving. Terms of Use (EULA) - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula
