Images to GIF

Turn a series of photos or frames into a looping animated GIF. Add two or more images, put them in order, choose how long each one shows and how wide the GIF should be — then download. Everything is encoded in your browser, so your pictures are never uploaded.

How to make a GIF from images

  1. Add two or more images above and arrange them with the up/down arrows.
  2. Set the seconds per frame, the maximum width and a background colour for letterboxing.
  3. Click Create GIF, preview the animation and download it.

About making GIFs from images

An image-sequence GIF is the quickest way to show a before/after, a step-by-step, a product from several angles or a burst of photos as one autoplaying clip. GIFs play automatically almost everywhere — chats, forums, documentation and social feeds — with no play button and no video player.

GIF is an old format with real limits: each frame is capped at 256 colours and files grow quickly, so it shines with short loops of a few frames rather than long photo slideshows. Keeping the width modest (the default 800 pixels or less) keeps the file small and sharp; photographic frames are automatically colour-quantized to fit the format.

Frequently asked questions

How is the GIF sized?

The first image sets the size and aspect ratio (up to the max width you choose — it is never enlarged). Images with a different shape are centred and letterboxed onto the background colour, so nothing gets cropped.

Can I control the speed?

Yes — set how many seconds each image is shown. The same timing applies to every frame, from quick 0.1-second flips to slow 10-second slides.

Does the GIF loop?

Yes, it loops forever — the standard behaviour almost everywhere GIFs are shown.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The frames are drawn, quantized and encoded into the GIF entirely in your browser; your images never leave your device.
