3Tap the two revolving arrows icon on the right-hand side. This button looks like two white revolving arrows with an infinity sign in between. Tapping on it will turn your video into a bouncing GIF loop.
- The infinity sign will disappear from the icon, and the "Bounce" slider will pop up.
- This does not actually create a GIF file, but the bouncing effect will make your video look, play, and feel like a GIF animation instead of a regular video loop.
-
4Drag the Bounce slider to adjust the animation. Hold down and drag the white Bounce slider to select where your video bounces into a GIF-like loop.
- If you want to edit the Bounce later, just tap the revolving arrows icon again. It will show the Bounce slider.
Adding a GIF
-
1Tap the Sticker icon on the right-hand side. This button looks like a white square on the right-hand side of your Snap. You can find it below the pencil icon towards the upper-right.

2Tap the GIF option on the Sticker menu. This option will open a selection of the popular GIF stickers you can use.
-
3Tap a GIF to add it as a sticker. Find the GIF you want to add, and tap on it. This will add the selected GIF to your Snap.
- You can use the Search bar at the top, and search GIF stickers by keyword.
