About
Every chat app has its own rules — size cap, dimension cap, frame count, format quirk. Generic GIF makers ignore them, so the file you just spent two minutes crafting clips into a still, refuses to upload, or breaks animation when you send it. LoopSnap fixes that.
Pick a destination chip. Pick a Live Photo, video, or burst of stills. LoopSnap exports the right artifact — a 512 px animated WebP for WhatsApp Stickers, a 240 px under-1 MB GIF for WeChat 表情, a generously sized GIF for iMessage, whatever the chat app actually wants. No guessing. No "why won't this upload."
WHAT MAKES LOOPSNAP DIFFERENT
- DESTINATION-AWARE EXPORT
Not "export as GIF" then guess the size. Pick where it's going first — WeChat Sticker, WeChat Chat, WhatsApp Sticker, WhatsApp Chat, iMessage, Telegram, Universal — and LoopSnap targets that platform's exact spec.
- LIVE PHOTOS, VIDEOS, BURSTS
Start from any source the system Photos picker allows. Live Photos straight from the camera roll. Short videos (MP4, MOV, HEVC). Bursts and multi-photo selections. LoopSnap handles the conversion.
- THE RIGHT FORMAT FOR THE PLATFORM
WhatsApp Stickers need animated WebP, not GIF. WeChat 表情 needs sub-1 MB. Telegram accepts MP4. LoopSnap knows which format each destination actually accepts — generic GIF tools force-export GIF and your sticker fails.
- PIXEL-PERFECT PREVIEW
The preview matches the exported file exactly. If it loops smoothly in the preview, it loops smoothly in WeChat.
- 100% ON-DEVICE
No accounts, no uploads, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Photos and clips never leave the device — verifiable in the App Store privacy nutrition label.

Core Capabilities
One chip per chat app
Seven destination chips — WeChat Sticker, WhatsApp Sticker, WeChat Chat, WhatsApp Chat, iMessage, Telegram, Universal — each pre-configured with format, size cap, and dimensions that the receiving app will actually accept.
Live Photos, video, or bursts
Start from a Live Photo, a short MP4/MOV/HEVC clip, or a multi-photo selection. LoopSnap stitches the loop and shows a frame-accurate preview before you export.
GIF, MP4, animated WebP
All three encoders run on-device. WhatsApp's animated WebP and WeChat's tight GIF byte-budget both produce files that play correctly in the destination app on first try.
One-time Pro unlock
$7.99 buys lifetime watermark removal plus a 10-second source-clip cap (free tier is capped at 3 s). No subscription, no recurring charge, restore-purchase supported.
Privacy by construction
Zero accounts, zero network calls, zero third-party SDKs. The only file system access is your photo library and the Files app share sheet you invoke. Verify it in the privacy nutrition label.
