In their own words
GifLoop
GifLoop is an iOS app for creating and editing animated GIFs, with projects that can start from photos, camera captures, video frames, or a blank canvas. Its tools include filters, text, drawing, onion skinning, glitch and jitter effects, and background removal. Creators can choose among seven loop modes, including ping-pong, random, fade loop, and play-once; per-frame timing is available on Pro. Free exports GIF and MP4, while Pro adds MOV, Live Photo, and frame strip. The custom Swift encoder offers controls for palette, dithering, lossy compression, file-size targets, and resolution. Free is free and permits up to 15 frames per project; GifLoop Pro is $1.99, paid once as a one-time purchase. The app requires iOS 17 or later and runs on iPhone and iPad. The maker says processing stays on-device and creative content is not uploaded to its servers; the editor and all five export formats work offline.
