What GIF Studio is
GIF Studio is a free Android app for viewing, creating, and editing GIFs. It can build animations from photos or device-camera recordings, and convert video clips up to 8 seconds at a maximum sampling rate of 10 fps. Users can merge GIFs, combine an animated GIF with a static photo, or add a static photo to an animation. Text tools control timing, size, style, color, and position. Editing includes cropping, joining multiple GIFs, and extracting part of an animation, with transparent GIF export listed. Photo slideshows offer 21 transition effects plus controls for speed, display time, size, and aspect ratio. The maker lists sharing support for Google+, Twitter, Tencent QQ, WeChat, and Micro-blog. On startup, storage permission is requested; searches cover Pictures, Downloads, and Documents, with extra folders addable. The current version does not support externally inserted storage devices. Slideshow files may exceed app or social-network limits.
