GIF is an interesting name the Internet and social media’s most-shared imagery. Facebook is like a warehouse for them. Kanye has gifs, President Obama has GIFs… Donald Trump is probably leading the GIF game right now as GIF makers around the world get their gif on celebrating or demeaning his presidency.

Yet despite the cool pop-culture references we can make with GIFs, wouldn’t it be cooler if we could add our own voices and ideas to the GIFs we watch or create? I think it would be very cool. Actually, super cool! That’s why the app developers Tahiti Spears and Jordan Potter at Gifstr are going to help you be the voice behind your gifs.

The Graphics Interchange Format (better known by its acronym GIF) is a bitmap image format that was developed by US-based software writer Steve Wilhite while working at the internet service provider CompuServe in 1987 and has since come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability. Therefore, the ladies at Gifstr are on their way to “download dominance” one voice at a time.

Unlike sites like Giphy, where people upload pics and videos to create GIFs, Gifstr is an app you download to your phone. The magic begins in three easy steps. Search for any GIF. Record your voice over it and share it via text or social media. Sounds super cool! Now you can sing on GIFs. Rap on GIFs. Be Shakespeare on GIFs if you want. And the best thing about it is that you can use Gifstr to pick GIFs from all around the world. "Get Giffy With It!"

Download Gifstr now at the Apple Store and give a little voice to your GIFs.
