How to send videos through WhatsApp in GIF format

In recent years, we have seen how files in GIF format have become a widely used tool when it comes to sharing our emotions, leaving aside the classic emoticons that are practically not accompanied since the beginning of time.

WhatsApp following your typical parsimony when introducing new features that are already available on other platforms, such as Telegram, it took a long time to offer support for these types of files. Currently, it not only allows us to search for GIFs to send, but also allows us to quickly convert videos into GIFs.

In the App Store we can find a large number of applications that allows us to convert video to GIF file, but if the purpose of the conversion is to share it through WhatsApp, we do not need to complicate our lives, since the messaging application allows us to do it quickly and without any complication.

  • First, we must go to the conversation in which we want to share the video file in GIF format.
  • Next, we go to the library where the video we want to convert is located.
  • At that moment, the WhatsApp video editor will load, an editor that allows us to trim the video by selecting only the part we want to share.
  • At the top right, two options are displayed: Camera icon (representing video format) / GIF.
  • To convert the section of the video that we want to send in GIF format, we must click on GIF and then press the send button. But first, if we want, we can add a text to accompany the GIF.

Depending on how long the video lasts, the conversion will take place almost instantly and will be shared directly in the chat where we are. If it is not the appropriate result, remember that for a limited time, WhatsApp allows us to delete the messages that we have published.
