GIF Maker — Create Animated GIFs from Images
Create animated GIFs from multiple still photos or image sequences directly in your browser. Upload PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF frames, drag or click to reorder them in a visual timeline strip, set custom delays from 20 ms to 2 seconds, and choose between infinite loop and single playback. The canvas automatically scales to fit your lead image while cleanly containing mismatched photo ratios with a customizable background fill. Everything compiles on your device with high-speed color quantization and zero server lag.
Use Cases
How to make an animated GIF from images
Select up to 300 images or drop them into the builder. PNG, JPG, WebP, and first frames of existing GIFs are supported.
Use the thumbnail strip to reorder frames up or down, or remove unwanted shots with one click.
Set a global frame delay between 20 ms and 2000 ms, pick loop behavior, and select a background color for padded margins.
Click Make GIF to compile all frames into an animated GIF, inspect the preview, and download your file.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I combine images of different sizes and aspect ratios?
- Yes. The canvas matches your first image’s aspect ratio (capped at 800px on the longest side), and subsequent images are fitted using aspect-preserving contain on your chosen background color.
- What image formats can I upload?
- You can upload PNG, JPG, WebP, and existing animated GIFs (which automatically extracts and uses the first frame).
- How many images can I upload at once?
- You can upload up to 300 images and 200 MB total in a single batch, processed smoothly in your browser’s local memory.
- What frame delay or speed should I choose?
- 500 ms (2 fps) is ideal for photo slideshows, 100 ms to 200 ms (5–10 fps) creates smooth hand-drawn animations or stop-motion, and 40–50 ms (20–25 fps) creates fast video-like playback.
- Are my photos uploaded to any server?
- No. All image resizing, palette quantization, and LZW compilation run on your local device with zero cloud storage.
Private by design. Image decoding, frame arrangement, and GIF encoding run entirely in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to a server.
