Make an intensifies GIF emoji

Turn a face into an intensifies GIF emoji with zoom and rapid shaking. Adjust intensity and speed, check the framing, and save for Slack or Discord.

Intensify combines enlargement with rapid shaking to suggest an emotion building up. A surprised face or tense character becomes an exaggerated reaction in the style of an “intensifies” meme.

How to make it

  1. Choose an expressive image

    In the image tab, pick a surprised or angry sample, or add your own picture. Leave space around the face because the effect enlarges the image.

  2. Set intensify strength and speed

    Select intensify and adjust intensity and effect speed. Check that the eyes and mouth remain inside the canvas throughout the movement.

  3. Save a Slack or Discord GIF

    Choose Slack or Discord 128×128 output and the matching GIF file-size target, then save. Play the downloaded result at a small size to check that the expression is recognizable.

Tips for a clear emoji

Use intensify for surprise, suspense, or emphatic agreement. Lower intensity and speed or make the source image smaller if the motion is uncomfortable or clips the face. Start with a simple background to help keep the GIF file size manageable.
