GIF Maker: Video to GIF

🎞 GIF Maker — cut the moment, pack the loop

Need a short looping GIF from a video on your phone without uploading it? GIF Maker lets you pick a local file, drag start/end on a timeline (or type the times), choose Loop or Boomerang and a size preset, then encode on-device with FFmpeg. Preview the result, download to your gallery, or share. Offline core job, bilingual EN/RU, no accounts.

🔊 How it works
1️⃣ Tap Pick video
2️⃣ Drag the timeline handles (max 8 s)
3️⃣ Choose Loop or Boomerang + Compact / Balanced / Sharp
4️⃣ Tap Make GIF — then Download or Share

⚠️ Works best with a native install (on-device FFmpeg). Expo Go can preview the UI but cannot encode. Longer source clips take more time and need free storage.
