    Drag a thumbnail to reorder, or use the ← → buttons. Animated source images contribute their first frame only.

    Large sizes and many frames take longer to encode. GIFs are limited to 256 colours per frame, so photos and gradients lose some quality.

    About this tool

    About Image to GIF Maker

    Image to GIF Maker turns a sequence of images into a real animated GIF. Add up to 60 frames, reorder them by dragging, and set the frame delay, loop count, output size, fit mode, background colour and number of colours per frame. An animated preview plays before export, and the finished GIF — encoded in your browser by a bundled open-source encoder — is shown next to it with its exact file size.

    Animated GIFs work almost everywhere — chat apps, documentation, websites, emails and presentations — without needing a video player. Making one from screenshots, product shots or drawing steps usually needs desktop software or an upload service. Here the images are processed on your device. GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, so photos lose some quality and long or large animations can take time and produce big files.

    How to use

    Step by step

    1. Drop the images you want to animate; each becomes one frame.
    2. Drag the thumbnails into the right order and remove any you don’t need.
    3. Set the frame delay and choose to loop forever, play once or play a set number of times.
    4. Set the width, height, fit mode, background colour and colours per frame.
    5. Watch the animated preview and adjust until the timing looks right.
    6. Press Create GIF, compare the result, and download the GIF.

    Best practices

    Tips for best results

    • Use images of the same size and shape for smooth animations.
    • Keep frames under about 500 px wide for small, fast-loading GIFs.
    • Use 200–1000 ms delays for slideshows and 40–100 ms for smooth motion.
    • Reduce colours for flat graphics; keep 256 for photos.
    • Check the generated GIF in the preview before sharing it.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Yes. Every frame is encoded into a single animated GIF file (GIF89a) with the delay and loop setting you choose. The result is shown next to the preview exactly as it downloads.
    No. Images are decoded and the GIF is encoded in your browser, using a bundled open-source GIF encoder in a background worker.
    Frame delay is how long each image is shown, from 20 ms to 10 seconds (GIFs store it in hundredths of a second). Loop can be forever, once, or a set number of plays; a few old viewers interpret loop counts slightly differently.
    GIF can store at most 256 colours per frame. Photos and smooth gradients are reduced to that palette, which can cause banding. Fewer colours make smaller files with more visible banding.
    Contain shows each whole image on the background colour, Cover fills the frame and crops the edges, and Stretch distorts each image to the exact frame size.
    Up to 60 frames, up to 1000 × 1000 pixels, and a memory budget of about 40 million pixels across all frames. Large sizes and many frames take longer to encode and make bigger files.
    Yes. EXIF rotation is applied when each image is decoded, so phone photos appear upright. Animated images (GIF, WebP, APNG) contribute only their first frame.
