GIF Maker: Turn Images into a GIF

Turn a series of pictures into an animated GIF for chats, slides or social posts. Add your images, put them in order, choose how fast they change, and create the GIF. It is built on your device, so nothing is uploaded.

Step 1: Add your images and put them in order

Step 2: Choose settings

Time per frame
Size (longest side)
If images are different shapes

The frame size follows the first image's shape. GIFs can show up to 256 colors per frame, so photos may look slightly grainy; each frame gets its own best set of colors.

Step 3: Create GIF

Add at least 2 images in step 1 (0 added).

Step 4: Download your new files

Your new files will appear here after you press “Create GIF”.

How to use it

  1. Add 2 to 100 images (JPG, PNG or WebP) and put them in order with the up and down buttons.
  2. Choose the time per frame, from 0.1 seconds for fast motion to 2 seconds for a slideshow.
  3. Pick the size (320 to 800 pixels on the longest side) and whether images of a different shape are fitted inside or cropped.
  4. Create the GIF and download animation.gif.

Questions

Will the GIF loop forever?
Yes, by default it repeats endlessly. Uncheck Loop forever if you want it to play only once.
Why do my photos look a little grainy in the GIF?
The GIF format can show at most 256 colors per frame. Each frame gets its own best set of colors, and the smooth gradients option (dithering) mixes them to soften color bands. Turn it off for flat graphics like screenshots.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Choose a smaller size such as 320 or 480 pixels, use fewer images, or turn off dithering for simple graphics. Larger sizes and many photo frames make bigger files.
Does the GIF keep transparency?
No. Transparent areas are filled with the background color you choose, white by default.
Is a watermark added or are my images uploaded?
No watermark is added, and your images are never uploaded. The GIF is created entirely in your browser.
