Ideas for Halloween GIFs

- Pumpkin carving: a clip of the lit pumpkin with the spooky light around it.
- Party invitations to send in the group chat.
- Shop and café posts for Halloween offers.
The spooky look
The edges of the picture darken to a deep purple with a faint orange glow, and bats of different sizes flap across at different heights and speeds. It works on any photo, even a sunny one, which is handy when the costume photos were taken in daylight.
MP4 or GIF?
MP4 keeps the full picture and the original sound, and is the best choice for WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. GIF loops silently in any chat or email, even where videos don’t autoplay; keep GIFs short (up to 10 seconds) and small, because they’re much bigger than MP4s.
Private: your photos and videos stay on your device
Family videos and photos of children don’t belong on someone else’s server. FitVideo makes the Halloween GIF inside your browser, so nothing is uploaded, and there’s no account, no watermark and no limit on how many you make.
