New PS4 Sharefactory Update Lets You Make GIFs, Collages, and Memes
Sharefactory, the video-editing software on the PS4, received an update today that will make it compatible with the PS4 Pro along with allowing users to create and upload GIFs and collages.
Starting today, editors can make GIFs up to 10 seconds long from any gameplay clip on their PS4 and slap text on it if they see fit. Users can also now make collages with up to six of their favorite photos, complete with optional filters and effects.
Sharefactory also now supports the newly released PS4 Pro, which means you can now edit and share your 4K screenshots. This new update also refreshes the UI, lets players pan and zoom in their videos, makes exports up to 20-percent faster, and adds new "troll" stickers and an "Internet Meme" font.

Our Take
This update adds a lot of useful capabilities necessary to make good on the philosophy behind the Share button. If Sony wants players to share their gameplay and photos, giving them better ways to edit and share them is a great idea.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
