Take a Series of Photos

Using the iPad camera, you’ll capture eight photos, rotating your subject slightly for each shot.

Estimated time to complete this tutorial:

20 mins

Step 1

Open Camera.

Step 2

Tap Live Photos to turn it off.

Step 3

Place your subject in the middle of the screen, leaving space around it to rotate.

Tip

Take your photos with your iPad in landscape orientation.

Step 4

Capture the first shot by tapping the Shutter button.

Tip

Be careful not to bump or move your iPad or to cast a shadow on your subject.

Step 5

Rotate your subject slightly before taking your second shot.

Step 6

Continue until you have eight photos, rotating your subject a bit more before you take each one.

Tip

The best animated GIFs loop seamlessly, so the first frame should be in almost the same position as the last one.

Tip

Animated GIFs must be small files, so use only 2 to 12 images in a sequence.
