Overview

Features & Capabilities

Create GIFs from Live Photos with a powerful set of editing tools. Trim, reverse playback, auto reverse, speed control, and the ability to pick a single frame while keeping the original metadata for easy sharing.

Exporting is free with a watermark; remove it with a one-time in-app purchase. 3D Touch support enhances previews, and you can share GIFs to iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Slack, Tumblr, and more. Note: You need an iPhone 6S/6S Plus or newer to capture Live Photos; older devices can still receive Live Photos via iMessage.

User Reviews

Users praise the app’s clean, simple UI and quick Live Photo-to-GIF conversion, and note responsive developers. However, the reviews repeatedly highlight instability on current iOS versions (crashes/blank screens), restricted photo library access, unreliable exporting/sharing, watermark frustrations, and grainy output. There is also a general concern about long periods without meaningful updates. Overall, reliability is the major concern despite the app’s appealing concept and potential.
Pros
  • Clean, simple UI design that users praise.
  • Fast and easy Live Photo to GIF conversion.
  • Developers are responsive to issues.
Cons
  • Frequent crashes, blank screens, and instability on current iOS versions (especially when loading Live Photos).
  • Limited access to the full photo library / permission issues.
  • Exporting or sharing GIFs to Facebook, Instagram, Drive, etc. is unreliable or not possible.
  • Watermark issues (removal not consistent; watermark reappears) and related frustration.
  • Grainy output and general performance/quality problems, plus a lack of updates for a long time.

Hasn’t been updated in two years. App crashes if you load a Live Photo into the GIF maker—even from the long press shortcut from the Home Screen.
