What is the gift box GIF maker?
It makes a small animation of a wrapped gift box. The lid swings open and two red heart frames rise out, one after the other, and settle side by side. Each heart shows a photo or a name. It works for couples, best friends, parents and kids, or you and your pet.
You can add two photos, two names, or one of each. The GIF is ready in a few seconds and plays in any chat app.
How to make a gift box GIF
- Fill the left heart. Add a photo, or switch to Text and type a name.
- Fill the right heart. Do the same for the second person, or leave it empty.
- Make the GIF. It renders in a few seconds.
- Send it. Download it, or share it straight to a chat from your phone.
Tips for sweet results
- Use close-up faces. Hearts are small, and their shape trims the corners. A face that fills the photo stays clear.
- Centre the face. The crop is taken from the middle, so a face near the edge can be cut.
- Mix photo and name. A photo of them and your name on the other heart is a cute way to sign a message.
- Keep names short. First names and nicknames look best.
- Want a keepsake look? The heart locket opens to show two photos side by side.
When to send one
Valentine’s Day and anniversaries. Two faces coming out of a gift says “we” without a word.
Birthdays. Put the birthday person on one heart and the sender on the other.
Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. A parent and child photo pair is a small gift that arrives instantly.
Just because. It is a quick way to tell someone they matter.
