Viber, one of the world’s leading messaging platforms connecting over 1 billion users internationally, announces the launch of its GIF creator feature, which enables its users to create fun GIFs to send to their friends and family.
In the last year, Viber has released thousands of sticker packs that were sent by users over 30 billion times. Now Viber is enabling its users to express themselves with their own customized GIFS.
In any chat, Viber’s users can record a short video with the app’s new camera, or select a video from their gallery, and turn it into a looping GIF in boomerang, fast play, or reverse modes.
To turn a video into a new GIF, users just need to:
Trim the video to select the perfect part to star in the GIF.
Choose a play mode for the GIF — from boomerang for endless looping, to reverse mode, slow-play, and x2 or x4 fast-play.
Style the new GIF with text in various fonts and colors, as well doodles or stickers.
“Especially during these times, Viber is committed to empowering users to express themselves in various ways as they communicate over instant messages. As we like to say at Viber, if an emoji is used to replace a word, GIFs and stickers can replace an entire sentence — and now with our custom GIFs — users can express themselves more accurately and do it in a more funny way,” said Ofir Eyal, COO of Rakuten Viber.
