How to turn a video into a GIF on iPhone.
This iOS workflow works on iPhone and iPad. ClipFlow calculates the frame count from the selected duration and frame rate before generating the animation.
Balance motion and size
Choose 8, 12, 15, or 24 fps, then set the output resolution to 360p, 540p, or 720p.
Create the animation
Confirm the frame count is within the 480-frame limit, generate the GIF, then save it to Photos or Files or share it.
Frame rate, resolution, and the 480-frame limit
8 fps produces fewer frames and is useful when compact output matters. 12 fps and 15 fps balance motion and size. 24 fps gives smoother motion but reaches the limit sooner and usually creates a larger result.
The resolution can be 360p, 540p, or 720p; the other side scales with the source aspect ratio. A GIF can contain no more than 480 frames. If the selected range and frame rate exceed that limit, shorten the range or choose a lower frame rate.
GIF output has no audio
GIF is an animated image format, so ClipFlow does not include the source audio. The conversion runs on the device and does not require Pro. The result can be previewed, saved to Photos, saved to Files, or shared.
A generated GIF is a terminal result in ClipFlow: it does not offer Continue Processing because the editing tools expect video or audio. Prepare the look, timing, and speed before conversion.
