GIF Vault makes it incredibly easy to copy, zoom, and share your stored GIFs to other apps and services.
Viewing a GIF in Full Screen
To view a GIF in its full size and resolution:
- Tap on any GIF in the main Vault grid to open its Detail View.
- Tap directly on the GIF's preview image card.
- The image will open in Full-Screen Mode with a black background.
- Zooming: You can pinch to zoom (supporting up to 3x zoom) to inspect specific details in the GIF or image.
- Exit: Tap anywhere on the screen to close the full-screen preview and return to the Detail View.
Quick Actions in Detail View
Directly below the full-screen preview card in the Detail View, you will find three main action buttons:
1. Copy to Clipboard
Tap the Copy button. This copies the image file data directly to your device's system clipboard.
- Once copied, you can navigate to another app (like Messages, Slack, WhatsApp, or Discord) and double-tap the text field to Paste the animated GIF directly.
2. System Share Sheet
Tap the Share button. This opens the standard iOS/macOS Share Sheet, enabling you to:
- Send the GIF via AirDrop to nearby Apple devices.
- Post it to social media apps or attach it to emails.
- Save the file to your device's local directories or iCloud files.
- Perform custom system actions supported by other installed apps.
3. Delete
Tap the Delete button (highlighted in red) to permanently remove the image from your vault.
⚠️ Warning: Deleting a GIF will permanently remove its image file and all its associated tags. This action is irreversible unless you have previously exported a backup.
