As much as this feature is impressive, sharing them is a whole different story. The new Samsung flagships won’t let you convert these cool motion photos to GIFs. Instead, you’ll get to share them as videos which, is a big let down if you ask me. Not only is a video file big (compared to GIFs), but the one-time play option also takes away the fun part. Thankfully, there are a couple of ways to convert motion photos to animated GIFs, and we will explore how to do that in this article today....

It’s just a 1 MB Windows freeware. But, it works like a charm. Let’s get into the application. Right on opening the app you’ll get the search bar. First, I’d recommend you turn off the compact view.

taskbar has fallen short of space on Windows 7? It generally doesn’t. And the reason is that the taskbar automatically shrinks application icons to accommodate more (as and when you open new items).
