As a result of analyzing the app files from the Android version of the “Google Photos” app v7.91 update released on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, we confirmed that resource code related to “Create GIF”—a new tool to convert burst photos into GIF animations—has been added.
<string name="photos_burst_secondarygrid_create_gif">Create GIF</string>“Google Photos” has long featured the creative tool “Animation,” which stitches together multiple selected photos to create a GIF animation. The newly identified “Create GIF” is expected to be a direct animation creation feature utilizing this existing “Animation” tool.
Meanwhile, the default camera app for Google Pixel devices, “Pixel Camera” (formerly Google Camera), has already phased out the “Smart Burst” continuous shooting feature. Despite this, a “Create GIF” tool is arriving now. Does this mean ordinary users simply love “burst photos” after all?
