On the Jablíčkára website, from time to time we will introduce you to some interesting shortcut for iOS. The most useful shortcuts are often also the simplest, and that's true for today's shortcut as well. It's called Video to GIF, and it allows you to easily and quickly create an animated GIF from any video in your iPhone's photo gallery.

There are many reasons why you might want to create an animated GIF on your iPhone. Some people want to create short animated GIFs from their own videos, which they later use to make their friends, family and loved ones happy, while others use the conversion of classic videos to animated images in GIF format, for example for work purposes. Creating a GIF from a video is actually not too difficult - it's a task that can be easily handled by a number of third-party applications available on the App Store. But choosing such an application can sometimes be difficult. A number of apps create watermarked GIFs, some apps are paid, others take up unnecessary space on your iPhone storage and you may find it unnecessary to download and install them if you don't create GIFs from videos very often.

In this case, the use of a shortcut may appear as an ideal solution. The shortcut called Video to GIF has a number of great advantages - it's simple, works reliably, quickly, and creates a GIF from your video with a single click without the need to perform any additional steps, saving, converting and other essentials. Before installing the shortcut, make sure you are on your iPhone v Settings -> Shortcuts have enabled the option to install untrusted shortcuts. Don't forget to open the link to the shortcut itself in the Safari web browser environment on the iPhone you want to install the shortcut on. The Video to GIF shortcut requires access to your iPhone's native Photos app.
