- Once you’re done, select Gallery
- Now, select the video you wish to convert into a GIF
- From the video editor that appears, tap on the camcorder icon at the top-right corner of the screen.

And you’re done! This way you can convert videos into GIFs on WhatsApp. Enjoy sending fun GIFs to your friends!
