Turn scattered photos and clips into a GIF, slideshow, or short video without wrestling with complicated editors. Make something shareable fast, then save it to Photos or send it right away. GIF Slideshow MP4 Maker helps you turn photos or a video into a GIF or MP4 slideshow on your phone. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT Everything happens right on your device, with no account required. You can start from your own photos, pick a video for video to GIF conversion, or try built-in sample projects like Beach, Birthday, and Dog Boomerang the moment you open the app. There is also a smart suggestion that can offer a boomerang from your recent Live Photos, which is handy when you want a quick GIF for a message, a reaction, a birthday post, a pet moment, or a simple photo slideshow for sharing. FEATURES Build a GIF from photos by adding images in multiple batches, then reorder frames, duplicate a frame, delete one, or long-press to give a single frame its own timing. Choose playback that fits the moment with Forward, Reverse, or Boomerang, set the loop to Forever, Once, 3x, or 5x, and export as a GIF or MP4. Pick a canvas that suits where you want to post with Original, 1:1, 9:16, 4:5, or 16:9. Style your GIF maker or slideshow with quick looks and finishing touches that are easy to see before you export. Add a caption overlay, reuse recent captions, place an emoji sticker, and adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation. You can also choose filters like Mono, Sepia, and Vivid, then save to Photos or use the Share option as soon as the export is done. If something goes wrong, Try Again reruns the same export. Turn a video into a GIF by picking a clip from Photos, choosing how many moments to capture, and exporting in the direction and loop style you want. For MP4 slideshow projects, add photos, set slide timing, and choose transitions like Cut or Crossfade. You can also add music from your files, and pick black, white, or blur for the background fill when your canvas shape does not match your photos. PERFECT WHEN Make a boomerang GIF from recent Live Photos, turn a saved clip into a looping reaction GIF, or create a clean slideshow video from vacation shots. It is useful when you want a square post, a vertical story-style layout, a quick birthday montage with a caption, or a pet slideshow with music that is ready to save and share. The Library tab also keeps past exports close by for quick re-share later. Paid features Premium removes ads and the export watermark, and adds more ways to fine-tune your result. That includes Reverse and Boomerang playback in GIF modes, extra filters, more transitions like Push Left, Zoom In, and Ken Burns, up to 3 emoji sticker layers, higher quality exports, and audio trim and fade controls for slideshow videos. Free use still includes all core creation flows, and you can watch a short ad to unlock a limited number of higher-quality exports. Permissions Photo access is used to pick photos and videos, and to save your finished GIF or slideshow back to Photos. Pick your photos or video and make a GIF, slideshow, or MP4 in minutes.
