Burst for iPhone

Today I’m launching a little app named Burst on the App Store. Burst lets you quickly and easily turn photo bursts taken with the iPhone’s Camera app into looping videos and GIFs.

When you launch the app, you’ll see a carousel of the bursts you’ve taken. They play back as you scroll through them.

From there, you can select the looping style (either loop or bounce) and tap the buttons underneath to create a video or GIF.

Once you’ve created a loop you can share it wherever you like using the iOS share sheet. Don’t be afraid to hit the video or GIF buttons a few times if you want to share to different places, the last created loop is stored so it won’t be regenerated.

This was a fun little project to work on with some interesting internals, I hope you enjoy using it! It’s available for free on the App Store. If you have any feedback please let me know here :)
