GIF Studio
What GIF Studio is
GIF Studio is a free Android app for viewing, creating, and editing GIFs. It can make animations from photos or device-camera recordings, and convert video clips up to 8 seconds into GIFs at a maximum sampling rate of 10 fps. Users can crop animations, join multiple GIFs, extract a section, or combine an animated GIF with a static photo. Text can be added with controls for timing, size, style, color, and position. For photo slideshows, the app offers 21 transition effects and settings for speed, display time, image size, and aspect ratio. The maker lists sharing support for Google+, Twitter, Tencent QQ, WeChat, and Micro-blog. On first startup, GIF Studio requests storage permission to access media on the phone. It searches Pictures, Downloads, and Documents, and users can add folders to the search list. The current version does not support externally inserted storage devices. The slideshow help also warns that output files may exceed file-size limits in social networks or other apps, and suggests reducing image size or photo count.
