App Description

Send hilarious looping videos like texts. GIF Chat is the first messenger app that combines animated GIFs with texting. Quickly record videos, add captions and swap them privately with your friends. You determine how many times they can be viewed before they disappear forever. It’s the latest app from Pinger, makers of the #1 free texting and calling app, Textfree.

TEXTING + ANIMATED GIFS = TEXTASY
Live to text? Wish you could easily share videos with your friends? GIF Chat allows you to chat privately with your friends all over the world using a mash-up of animated GIF videos and texting.

PRIVATE VIDEO MESSAGES THAT ARE REALLY PRIVATE
Want to communicate something that you don’t want to post to a social network? Or forwarded to anyone else? GIF Chat allows you to swap private video messages that can only be seen by the receiver. GIF Chat videos can loop forever or disappear when you want them to.

MAKE YOUR GIFS SELF-DESTRUCT
You determine how many times someone can see your GIF video. Set the number of loops and after that… poof, it’s gone! Not shy about sharing it? You can allow it to loop forever.

WHAT’S A GIF?
GIFs are 6-second compressed videos that loop over and over. They’re also known as animated GIFs. Not sure how to pronounce it? We say GIF with a soft G, like “jif,” but if you prefer the hard G of “great,” that’s cool, too. They’re hilarious either way.

NEVER CREATED A GIF? GIF CHAT MAKES IT EASY
GIF Chat makes creating and sharing GIFs super easy. Just open the app, tap to start recording (selfie or forward-facing camera), set the loop speed and the number of loops and the app turns it into an animated GIF. Add text and then send it privately to a friend just like a text message.

INVITE YOUR FRIENDS TO GIF CHAT WITH YOU
If you’re one of the millions of current Textfree or Pinger users, use your Pinger number/username to log in to GIF Chat. All of your friends who use Pinger or Textfree will be marked with a purple dot. You can easily send them invites to download and log in to GIF Chat. If you don’t use Pinger or Textfree, you can quickly invite friends to GIF Chat with traditional texts or email.
