Fastest way to make a GIF
It's easy to make a GIF from any Live Photo or video.
With Live Photos, it’s pretty easy to make fun looping videos on your iPhone (or Mac) using the built-in Loop effect.
However, the image files that are created don’t always play well on third-party apps like Snapchat or Discord.
A better alternative is to use a good old animated GIF.
Wait. What? Animated GIF? Is this the late ‘90s?
Not by a long shot. Animated GIFs are still a good way to bring your Live Photos or short videos to life — and here’s how you can make them very easily.

One more thing ...
Good PR educates people; that's all it is. You can't con people in this business. The products speak for themselves.
