What GifLoop is
GifLoop is a native iOS app for creating and editing animated GIFs on iPhone and iPad. Projects can start with photos, camera captures, video frames, imported video, or a blank canvas. Tools include filters, text, drawing, onion skinning, glitch and jitter effects, and background removal. Seven loop modes include ping-pong, random, fade loop, and play-once; Pro adds per-frame timing. Free exports GIF and MP4, while Pro adds MOV, Live Photo, and frame strip formats. The encoder provides palette, dithering, lossy compression, file-size targeting, and resolution controls. Free costs nothing, supports 15 frames and two loop modes, and adds a watermark after three free Pro exports. GifLoop Pro costs $1.99, paid once, raises projects to 50 frames, unlocks all seven modes and per-frame timing, and removes the watermark. Editing and exports run offline on-device.
