If you’re looking to learn how to save a GIF on you're iPhone, you’ve come to the right place. Saving and sharing a GIF on iPhone is easy to do; and once you learn, you can save all the funny GIFs from Tumblr or Twitter that you want. What is a GIF? It’s a short moving picture on a loop; it’s also called a moving meme and is popular across many platforms including Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. You can download, save, and share a GIF easily on your iPhone; however, you can also use an app to start your collection of GIFs. We’ll go over both methods of how to save a GIF on iPhone below. We’ll also cover how to download GIFs and share them via Messages, email, Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter. And good news, if you’re learning how to download gifs on an iPhone running iOS 11 or later, this article has been updated!

Before iOS 11, saving a GIF on iPhone was easy but the animation appeared as a still photo in the Photos app. In iOS11, when you download a GIF to your phone, you can view the moving pictures in the Photos app. With iOS 10 and iOS 11, you can share GIFs that you’ve saved or downloaded just as easily as a photo or video. Some social platforms accept the GIF format, which means you can post GIFs to Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr; Instagram, however, does not currently support GIFs (though you could upload one in video form). Okay, let’s jump into how to save a GIF on iPhone.

How to Save GIFs to iPhone

How to DownloadGIF to iPhone with iOS 10 or Later

If you have an iPhone with 3D Touch:

• Press into the gif; this will activate 3D Touch.
• When it pops out, swipe up.

• Tap Save Image.

If you have an iPhone without 3D Touch:

• Tap and hold the image.
• Tap Save Image.

The only big difference between downloading GIFs with iOS 11 and saving gifs with iOS 10 is how the GIF appears in the Photos app. With iOS 11, the Photos app finally supports GIF files, which means you can see the animated gif in the app, whereas previously you could only see it as a still photo.

Use a GIF Downloader App To Save GIFs

Alternatively, you can download a GIF app that will allow you to find, save, and create a collection of your favorite GIFs. If you don’t want your GIF addiction taking up space in your Photos app, this is a great option. It can also be a way to find GIFs that wouldn’t necessarily be on big GIF sites such as Giphy but can be found in the wide world of Tumblr or Reddit. This is for the dedicated GIF collector.

My choices for the best GIF apps are GIFwrapped and GifPlayer Free. GifPlayer is nice for finding rarer gifs from sites like Tumblr, Reddit, and more. But you’ll notice that when you search on some sites, it’s not clear how to save the GIF. GIFwrapped, on the other hand, doesn’t allow you to visit different websites within the app, which limits your GIF discovery in some ways but makes it easier to save GIFs overall. Both apps allow you to save the GIFs you’ve found to your in-app library. We'll use GIFwrapped for our example, but the process is basically the same for both.

To Save a GIF from Using GIFwrapped (Free):

• Find the GIF you want to save to the app.
• Tap and hold the GIF.
• Select Save to Library.

• If you already know that you want to share the GIF you’ve found, you can also tap Share Image to directly share it with friends.

How to Send GGIFs Via Messages, Mail, Facebook, and Twitter

If you have a GIF saved to your Photos app, you can easily share it with friends via the Messages app. You can also share a GIF on Facebook, Tumblr, or Twitter. If you’re running iOS 10 or earlier, the GIF will appear as a still photo in the Photos app. But once you’ve sent the GIF, it will reanimate. If you’re using iOS 11 or later, the GIFf will already be animated in the Photos app. To share a GIF:

• Find the gif you want to share in the Photos app.
• Tap the Share button.

• Select how you want to share the GIF: Message, Mail, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Tumblr, etc.

• For example, tap Message and choose who to send it to.
• Tap Send, which is an up arrow in iOS 10 or later.

Here's the sloth GIF we used in most of the examples above:

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) images are extremely popular, especially on Tumblr.com. If you don’t know, GIF is a moving picture that looks like video yet it doesn’t have sound and thus is much lighter than a video file. This kind of images can be used to show a particular moment from a movie, an educational film or a music video. In case you want to compress a video, follow these steps.

PRO Tip: Here you’ll learn to make your own GIFs for eternal watching.

You can easily save moving pictures onto your PC like you do with a standard non-moving image. Yet it’s not that easy to save GIF on iPhone. iPhone doesn’t support moving images. If you simply save your image to Camera Roll like you always do, the pic will be static and won’t move. The same thing will also happen if you try to edit a GIF file. To keep the image in motion you need to follow the steps below.

Save GIF to iMessage or Email

When you found a GIF that you want to save, tap and hold the image for a moment to see the menu. As soon as it appears, choose Save Image to save the GIF to your Camera Roll.

Now, you need to run Photos app, go to Camera Roll and find the image you’ve just saved.

Tap the Share button and choose Message or Mail. Send the message to your own email or phone number to view it animated again. Or you can always share the GIF with your friend and see it whenever you want in a chatting history.

Although this method is pretty simple and doesn’t require any special tech knowledge, it can be rather time consuming when you need to save let’s say 20 GIFs. That’s why it’ll be much better to use a special app.

Save GIF with GIFwrapped

GIFwrapped is a free app that lets you find, download and store GIF images. The app has a built-in browser with the help of which you can search for pictures directly from the app. Alternatively, if you prefer Safari or any other web browser, you can copy direct GIF link and paste it into GIFwrapper. As soon as your image is completely loaded, tap the button in top right corner and choose to Save to Library.

Then go to Library (bottom left corner) and check your GIF. In case you have a Dropbox account, you can add it to GIFwrapper to send your new files directly to your cloud storage.

As you can see the procedure is very simple and the app itself looks quite nice. Yet, there are a couple of drawbacks:

• ads in the free version;
• search results are not good (better use Google search or paste a direct GIF link).

Save GIF with GifPlayer Free

How To Save Videos From Tumblr

GifPlayer Free version is one more app you can use to save GIF images on iPhone. It functions almost like GIFWrapper. You can either paste the GIF link to this app or use Google search to find a necessary image in a built-in browser. Choose Open if you want to watch the image again before downloading, or Save Animation when you need to only save a picture without checking it. You’ll also find a variant Advanced Save Animation that lets you set a custom name for your GIF.

GifPlayer like GIFWrapper keeps all the downloaded GIFs within the app, but you can always send them via Message, Email, save to Camera Roll or assign to phone contact. Please notice that in case of Camera Roll and phone contact the image won’t be movable.

As for extra settings, GifPlayer provides better customization. First of all, you can set a 4-digit password to protect your data. Next time when you start an app, you’ll have to enter your password. Try to not forget it!

For those who like to watch GIF several times, there is a Reverse Playback option. Just turn it on and you won’t have to tap the image to play it again.

Besides that, you can customize app background in case you don’t like White default one and what’s a great – a home page. By default there is an offer to buy a PRO version of the app, though you can easily change it to any other site you like. Search engine is also changeable. You can choose among Google, Yahoo, or Bing.

And of course, you can add your Dropbox account to send your new GIFs to it and be sure you won’t lose them.

As for the drawback, there are two of them:

• ads in the free version;
• the amount of saved files in free version is limited to 8.
