BUILT FOR QUICK ANIMATIONS
Turn a burst of shots into a looping reaction GIF. Animate a product rotating through its colour options. Make a stop-motion sequence from a weekend shoot. Blatt gives you exactly the controls you need — nothing more — and gets out of your way.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED
FRAMES
Pick any number of photos from your library in the order you choose. Reorder by dragging the filmstrip, remove frames with a swipe, and rotate any frame 90°, 180°, or 270° before export.
SPEED & LOOP
Set the frame rate from 1 to 30 fps. Toggle looping on or off for GIFs that play once or repeat forever.
SIZE
Four output size presets keep file sizes under control:
• Original — source resolution unchanged
• Square — 1080 × 1080, perfect for Instagram posts
• Vertical — 1080 × 1920, ready for Reels and Shorts
• Small — 480 × 480, compact for messages and the web
VISUAL EFFECTS
Apply one of fourteen CIFilter effects to every frame before export:
Photo Looks: Chrome, Fade, Instant, Mono, Process
Stylise: Thermal, X-Ray
Distortion: Droste, Glass, Zoom Blur
Pixel: Crystallize, Pixellate, Dots
Threshold: Otsu
Adjustable-intensity effects let you dial in exactly how strong the look is. Fixed-look effects — the photo looks, Thermal, X-Ray, and Otsu — apply with one tap.
LIVE PREVIEW
A live animation preview shows your GIF playing at the chosen frame rate with the selected effect applied — exactly as it will export. Tap to pause, tap again to resume.
EXPORT
Export via the share sheet to save to Photos, Files, Messages, or anywhere else. Blatt saves a copy to its own gallery so you can revisit and re-export any animation you've made.
UNDO
Made a mistake? Undo after export moves the output file to the Trash instantly — your source photos are never modified.

NATIVE AND PRIVATE
Blatt is a native iPhone app built in SwiftUI. GIF encoding uses Apple's ImageIO framework directly — no third-party libraries, no cloud uploads, no account, no subscription required. Your photos never leave your device.
