Silo Gif.
Turn video into a GIF without sending it anywhere.
Planned for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. The App Store listing is not live yet; the product promise above describes the shipping scope, not a hosted demo.
Your video stays in the room.
Silo Gif reads the file you choose, samples frames, builds a palette, and writes the GIF locally with Apple frameworks. There is no upload step, hosted converter, account, analytics SDK, or network entitlement. Turn off the network and the conversion still works.
Fast when you want it. Exact when you need it.
Start with a clean preset or open the full control surface: trim the moment, crop the composition, set the frame rate and playback speed, choose 16–256 colors, tune Bayer dithering, and hold the final frame for a beat.
A small tool with a clear receipt.
One planned $2.99 purchase covers iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Save to Photos or Files, copy the result, share it, or send a chosen video from Finder through the share extension. No subscription, quota, or account follows the export.
Make the loop yours.
one focused conversion pathChoose the exact moment, then crop and scale to a sensible GIF size without leaving the editor.
Control frame rate, speed, palette size, deterministic palette sampling, Bayer dithering, and end hold.
Write a standard animated GIF, keep the source untouched, and send the result to Photos, Files, the clipboard, or another app.
No magic cloud. No fine print.
Silo Gif is a local converter, not a social network or media library. It does not host your source, sync a project, remove a platform watermark, or promise infinite-resolution output. It does one job carefully: make a shareable animated GIF from the file you chose.
