Samsung Galaxy: How to Create GIFs From Any Video

Two ways to make a GIF on a Samsung Galaxy phone: from your own videos in the Gallery app, or from any video playing on screen with Smart Select.

Quick summary: Samsung Galaxy phones can turn your own videos or any video playing on your screen into a GIF. No extra app needed.

  1. Open the Gallery app and open your video.
  2. Go to where you want the GIF to start. Play the video and pause it at that spot.
  3. Tap the three dots (tap the video first if you don’t see them) and choose Create GIF.
  4. Adjust the clip: drag the frame bar to move it, and make it longer (up to 6 seconds).
  5. Set the speed and direction: speed goes from 0.5x up to 2x, and the arrow button plays it forward, backward, or back and forth.
  6. Edit it if you want: tap Edit to pick different frames, crop it, change the speed or add stickers.
  7. Tap Save. The GIF shows up in your Gallery.

From any video on your screen (Smart Select)

  1. Play the video you want, in any app or website.
  2. Open the Edge panel by swiping in the sidebar, and tap Smart select.
  3. Tap or draw around the video, then drag the box corners to frame exactly what you want.
  4. Tap the three dots and choose Create GIF. You can set the quality to high.
  5. Record: with the video playing, tap Record, and tap Stop when you have what you want.
  6. Save or share: tap the download arrow to save it, or share, crop or pin it. You can also move the box and record again.
