For those who are not familiar with GIFs; it’s an image format that allows animation. In short, almost all the moving photos you see on the Internet are in this image format. We can go into the technicalities of it but that’s not why you are here, you already know what it is and you just want to make a funny GIF of your buddy. I know I know, I’ve been there myself and to be honest, I’m not going to lecture you about the right pronunciation of the word here, so let’s dive straight into the best GIF Creator apps for Android. Note: the best GIF Creator apps for Android were tested on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and Sony Xperia Z. All of the apps worked perfectly fine and no problems were faced during the testing. However, some of the apps do come with ads that can be pretty annoying to say the least. Mostly you will need an active Internet connection to make a great GIF with these apps.
1. GIF Maker – GIF Editor
The Parting GIF:
While the best GIF Creator apps for Android provide some really advanced editing features, many of the phones are also coming with a stock GIF maker. In recent times Samsung has really improved their GIF making capabilities, making the feature more accessible and easier to use. So if you are in a hurry, it wouldn’t hurt to try out your smartphone’s built in GIF maker as well. Sure you can use a pre-existing video to make a GIF, but you can also combine multiple images to create some hilarious looking animations. The app even allows you to add over 200 images to make a single GIF image. You can also edit the GIF before you save the process and export. One of the best things about GIF Maker is its extensive collection of stickers. You can get really creative with the stickers and get super funny results. You can also add labels with texts and you can even edit the text style and color. It also allows robust GIF sharing options; you can upload directly to popular social media sites and even GIPHY and IMGUR. Free Version
2. GIF Maker, GIF Editor, Video Maker, Video to GIF
There are options of editing a GIF, a quick edit option, the option to convert images into GIF, and the traditional video to GIF converter. You also get the option of using your camera to record a video and then convert it into a GIF. The app also provides the option of recording your screen and then converting it into a shareable GIF. There are some advanced options available on this app though, it can do almost all the processes in reverse. Yes you can make a video out of a GIF and get a still image extracted from it. These options are not easily available on the other best GIF creator apps for Android. There is also the option of compressing a GIF, which reduces its size but also decreases the image quality, perfect for simple sharing. Free Version
3. Gif Me! Camera – GIF maker
So, you’ll not only be getting a GIF Creator app for Android but also a camera. All you need to do is capture footage you want to make a GIF out off, apply real-time color filters on it if you please, and that’s about it. You can also make stop motion videos with this camera, a neat addition to an already robust package. There are traditional options available as well, you can make a GIF out of a pre-existing video. Edit a GIF that you have already made and even make wiggle GIFs. Instantly sharing on Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, and Facebook is also super easy. However, the app applies a watermark that can only be removed after paying, which is a huge negative in our books and that’s the reason it’s placed at the end of the best GIF Creator apps for Android list.
