I'm Paul, and I work on the SF Symbols app. In addition you can also go into Settings there, change it's icon, add it to the Home screen so that you can then run this as a Workflow kind of as an app for easy access.♪ ♪ Paul: Hi, there. ![]() You just go into the Photos app, edit that video to trim it to the exact portion that you want to make it an animated GIF, use this Workflow here and you're set.īack in Workflow you can go to the Settings there by pressing the gear at the top right and you can name it and now you can see that it appears there in Workflow. Now if you wanted to make a segment of your video an animated GIF then it's pretty easy. Animated GIFs are sometimes preferable to videos in certain different places where you post things online. Sure enough if you export this from the Photos app on your Mac you can see in the Finder that it's an animated GIF or if you just were to share that somewhere that you would see that is actually an animated GIF even though it can't play it back in the Photos app. Now the Photos App doesn't actually play animated GIFs so you have to trust that it is one. I can see here that it's the last item in my All Photos list and there it is. But the important thing is that I know it saves it to the Photos Album app. I see the result there inside of Workflow.

So the first thing it's going to do is ask for a photo or video. So I'm going to drag it to the right and add it to my workflow. Which you can read about and it says Prompts to choose photos and videos from your photo library. I'm going to look first for, under Photos & Video, the action to Select Photos. I'm going to swipe left to right to go to the Actions. I'm going to make sure it's set to Normal.
