Draw on photos and videos with WhatsApp

To edit a photo or video on WhatsApp for sharing with your contacts, follow these steps:

Step 1: First, start WhatsApp and select the chat where you want to share the photo or drawing you want to draw. Then, if you’re using an Android device, hang on the Plus (+) icon at the bottom right (in the message bar) and choose, from the menu that appears, to share a picture or movie you already have in the gallery or if you use the camera of the device to take a picture or make a video.

To take a photo or make a video, simply press the center key at the bottom.

Library to select existing content or to use the camera to take a new photo or create a new movie. To take a photo or create a video, simply press the central button at the bottom.

To edit an Emogi Picture and Video

Let me point out that on WhatsApp, you can share great videos at a maximum of 16 MB, with a duration that can hardly exceed 3 minutes. Create short videos or reduce existing ones to less than 6 seconds to create animated GIFs and draw them on them.

To transform a video into animated GIFs, you must use the indicators on the video timeline to reduce the duration of the movie to 6 seconds or less and press on the GIF entry that appears in the top right.

Now the steps to be taken are the same on both Android and iOS. To begin drawing on your photo (or your video), then click on the pencil icon you see in the upper right corner of the screen and choose the stretch color using the palette that appears on the right. The last two colors of the palette are not normal colors: gray allows the color to be taken off the photo, while the checkered palette portion allows censorship of faces and scribbles through the pixel effect.

Once you choose the color you prefer, you just have to draw on your smartphone screen using your finger. To return to previous steps, use the arrow on the top left, add text and gifs, and post content in the chat by clicking the airplane icon. It was easy, didn’t it?

Do you not want to draw on photos and videos but create real designs to share on WhatsApp ? No problem.
