How to make a clapping cat GIF

Updated · Clapping Cat AI

For the original black cat, search "black cat clapping" on GIPHY or Tenor, or from the GIF button in most keyboards and chat apps. For a GIF of your own pet, make the clapping cat video first, then cut the few seconds of clapping into a GIF with a free converter such as ezgif or GIPHY's GIF maker. A GIF has no sound, so pick a moment that works silently.

The original clapping cat GIF

The original grinning, clapping black cat is on GIPHY and Tenor under searches like "black cat clapping" and "clapping cat meme", including a green-screen version. Most phone keyboards and chat apps search the same libraries from their GIF button, so you can send it without leaving the chat.

Make a GIF of your own pet

  1. Make your clapping cat video from one photo of your cat or dog and download the MP4.
  2. Open a video-to-GIF converter. ezgif's Video to GIF works in any browser, takes files up to 200 MB and deletes uploads after an hour; GIPHY's GIF maker also takes MP4 files.
  3. Set the start and end to the clapping close-up in the second half of the video.
  4. Keep it to 3 or 4 seconds and around 480 pixels wide, so it stays small enough to send.
  5. Download the GIF and send it, or upload it to GIPHY so you can search for it later.
