Best iOS for creating gifs from mp4s/videos from camera roll?

I’m looking for a recommendation for making gifs on iOS. Preferably one that lets you add text and with the option to remove the watermark with a one time purchase instead of a subscription.

Does this community have any advice? I tried a bunch on the App Store but there’s literally dozens and most of them either don’t let you add text or have like a $20 a minute subscription or obnoxious ads with no option to remove

There’s a “Make a gif” shortcut under shortcuts to do it for free.

There’s also a shortcut to add animated text to a gif, couldn’t see one for stationary. Although it looks simple enough to modify to add that feature.

Edit: I haven’t fiddled around with shortcuts as I haven’t had much use - but I do want to learn it, it’d be willing to make a shortcut to convert to a gif and give a choice to add text if you’d like.

  I only discovered it myself recently after looking for a free/cheap gif maker myself, so happy to share my new knowledge.
  
  I made a modified version that will convert live image/video and overlay a caption at the bottom for ya: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/96cb8374dcf74a3db10a2fef168ea22a
