Create GIF WhatsApp - these are your options

If you want to send an animation, the Graphics Interchange Format is a good choice. This can be used to send images or a string of images in compressed form. This is possible via various instant messengers such as WhatsApp. You can download a GIF from the Internet or create it yourself.

So you can create a GIF for WhatsApp

Using the instant messenger WhatsApp, you can chat with your friends, share videos and also exchange GIFs. However, before you can send a GIF, you must first select a suitable one. If there is no desired GIF, it is possible to create your own. Directly via WhatsApp this is not possible, but there are many other tools that help you.

1. If you do not want to create the GIF first on the PC and then send it via detours on the cell phone, various apps help you create the GIF directly on the smartphone.
2. You can download and install the app "Giphy Cam" free of charge via the corresponding app store. It is then possible to load photos and images from your smartphone into the app and have a GIF created from them. You can also insert filters and stickers.
3. With the GIF Maker you can also create GIFs from pictures and videos. In the process, it is possible to loop this. The playback time can take up to 25 seconds, depending on the setting made.
4. Once you have created a GIF with one of the apps, it is stored on your smartphone and can be selected and sent directly via WhatsApp.
