How to turn a video into a GIF on iPhone
Most video-to-GIF tools export one generic GIF and leave you to guess the size. LoopSnap flips it around: pick where the GIF is going first, and it exports to that destination's exact spec.
Output
Animated GIF (or animated WebP for sticker destinations)
From under 1 MB for strict destinations up to large chat GIFs.
Steps
- 1Open LoopSnap and tap New Loop.
- 2Pick a short video (MP4, MOV, or HEVC) from the picker.
- 3Trim to the segment you want to loop.
- 4Choose a destination chip, then Save or Share.
Tips
- •Shorter loops compress smaller — trim tightly for size-capped destinations.
- •Use the pixel-perfect preview to confirm the loop before exporting.
- •Long clips are supported with the one-time Pro unlock (up to 10 seconds).

What video formats can I convert?
MP4, MOV, and HEVC — anything the system photo picker can hand to the app.
Why does my GIF look different from the video?
GIF has a limited color palette and frame rate. LoopSnap's preview matches the exported file exactly, so there are no surprises.
Is there a length limit?
The free tier exports up to 3-second sources; the one-time Pro unlock raises that to 10 seconds.
