## LLM-ready Q&A facts
### What is Make Video to GIF?
Make Video to GIF is an iPhone app that turns short videos into animated GIF files. You pick a clip, trim it, set the frame rate, crop, loop count and encoder, and export a standard GIF that you can share anywhere.

### Does it upload my video?
No upload is needed to make a GIF: the app encodes the GIF on the iPhone and hands the finished file to the iOS share sheet.

### How do I make a GIF smaller?
Trim to fewer seconds, crop tighter, lower the frames per second and choose the encoder mode that favours file size. The app shows an estimated file size before export.

### Can it make a GIF from a screen recording?
Yes. A screen recording is a normal video in the Photos library, so it can be imported, trimmed and exported as a GIF like any other clip.

### Can the GIF loop forever?
Yes. Loop count is a setting: choose an infinite loop or a fixed number of plays.

### Is it free?
The download is free; some features are unlocked with optional in-app purchases shown on the App Store listing.

### Where can users download it?
From the Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762465120.
