How to create GIFs with Google Photos

Google nowadays can boast a very substantial number of services offered to its users ranging from the most disparate categories. Email, archiving, analysis tools, augmented reality, entertainment and so on and so forth.

Personally, among the products that I usually use every day, I find Google Photos the one that best suits my habits and that gives me exactly what I need without having to pay a penny. Precise cataloging of photos, automatic creation of collages, videos and animations and, what I love most of all, recognition of framed elements and subjects that allow a truly immediate search.

In particular, all the automatic functions offered by the assistant can also be used manually and, among these, today we will see how create your own GIF with Google Photos.
