Our verdict on Giffer

Giffer is an iOS app for creating animated GIFs from videos, photos, Live Photos, burst photos, individual frames, or its built-in camera. It suits iPhone users who want direct control over short animations, especially cinemagraph creators and people capturing GIFs with single-frame, burst, or timer camera modes. Frame reordering, cropping, filters, text overlays, borders, and playback controls cover the main editing workflow without shifting the focus beyond GIF creation.

Its strongest area is capture and frame control. Cinemagraph mode adds stabilization, while adjustable animation speed and per-frame delays provide control over how motion plays back. Forward, reverse, single-play, and back-and-forth modes expand the available presentation styles. Onion skinning can help with frame alignment, and the app supports cropping to different aspect ratios. The Giffer Animated GIF Maker plan covers imports, editing, and exports, while Giffer Pro GIF Maker adds support for larger GIFs up to 480 × 480 and longer GIFs than the standard version.

Sharing and output options make Giffer practical for iOS-centered workflows. Finished work can be exported as animated GIFs, Live Photos, or videos, then shared through Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, Messages, Email, or AirDrop. The app also includes a hosted sharing service. Giffer is a good fit for users who want camera-based capture, cinemagraph stabilization, and detailed frame editing on iOS. Users who need Android, desktop access, screen recording, or a free plan should choose a different GIF maker.
