You can now turn your drawings into animated GIFs using Rocketbook!
Keep in mind that animated GIF functionality works with iOS and iMessage only. We're working on getting it working with Android and other services next.
What is an animated GIF? According toTechopedia, an animated GIF is “an image encoded in graphics interchange format (GIF), which contains a number of images or frames in a single file and is described by its own graphic control extension.” Basically, it’s a collection of images that loop in order to convey animation.
Animated GIFs are a new fun feature that will make your handmade sketches come to life. It’s currently only available on iOS for Messages (texting) and Google Drive, but we’ll be adding that functionality to Android and more cloud services.
So how do you send these animations?
Sending animated GIFs to Google Drive is pretty straightforward, so we’ll share a little bit more about how to send animated GIFs in text messages via iOS Messages.
