Yes, yes, I’ll walk through all your questions to get to where I can build stuff. I think building your own little GIF app will give you a sense of pride and accomplishment that simply downloading one won’t.Īnyway, to get started with this, first download Workflow from the App Store on your iPad or iPhone, of course, then when you open the app, you’ll be taken through some startup screens about what kinds of workflows you want to build and so on. Why this app in particular? Well, because it provides a pretty awesome way to use automation with iOS, sort of like how the Mac’s Automator program works (and Workflow is still great even after Apple bought it and crippled it some). What I’m going to be going over today, though, is how to use an app called Workflow to do the job.
I wrote a tip last month about using Photos to create animated GIFs on your Mac, but if you wanna do the same thing on your iPhone or iPad, what’s the best way to go about it? Well, you’ll need to download an app, of course, but if you search for “GIF maker” on the App Store, you’ll only find about a billion of them.
