There are few technologies, which didn’t sprout in the following decade, but they are making a new come back recently as gadgets like smartphones, laptops, and computers are reaching more people then it used to be in the last few decades. One of them is the GIFs. GIF or Graphics Interchange Format is an image format, which can store moving images and the size of the images can be smaller than that of the video counterparts, due to the absence of any audio channel. GIF files were also compatible with most portable gadgets and today, we can view GIFs on smartphones, computers, and other gadgets. Today, we use GIFs to record or display small tutorials, and a number of popular GIF memes are also flooding across the internet. If something interesting comes on the internet, it becomes viral and GIFs are one of them. 

That said, we can also find a number of online GIF libraries like Giphy, Tenor, etc., where we can download GIF memes that relate to most of our emotions and online activities. If you want to create your own GIF you can also do that with a number of tools available online and also with your computer. Additionally, if you are having a smartphone, which you might already be having, it can also be used to create your own GIF images. We can find the number of apps on the Google Play Store if you are using Android. However, if you are using a modern Samsung smartphone, you can create GIFs without downloading any third-party app. You can directly do that from the default gallery app on modern Samsung handsets and today I will discuss how to do that here.

  • After the video starts playing on your handset, wait for that moment that you want to convert to GIF. No, you cannot convert the whole video to GIF, as this is not a full-fledged video to GIF converter. Otherwise, you can also use the slider to move to the part of the video that needs to be converted to GIF. After you are at the point of the video that needs to be converted to GIF, tap on the ‘GIF’ button on the top right corner of the video player.

The GIF that will be exported should be more than or equal to 0.5 seconds, and it should be less than or equal to 6 seconds. Additionally, you can also increase or decrease the speed of the GIF to 0.5x or 2x apart from 1x that is the regular speed. You can also set the GIF to play forward, backward, and both back and forth.
  • After you are done, tap on ‘Save’ to save the GIF, or you can directly share the GIF with the ‘Share’ button.
