GIFs make conversations with friends more fun. In simple words, we can say that they are like animated pictures that showcase our feelings better. However, most of us rely on websites like GIPHY to get new GIFs that are apt to describe our emotions in a particular conversation. Various social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram also offer a gallery of GIFs that the users can choose from to send their friends. Furthermore, WhatsApp and YouTube even let you create your own GIFs. Here, we will tell you how you can create your own GIFs on WhatsApp and YouTube.
