How to Make a GIF From Images

Add your images. Choose two or more photos, drawings or screenshots. JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC all work.
Set the order. Each image is one frame. Use the arrows to move frames.
Pick speed, size and loop. "Slow" (0.5 s per frame) is a good start for photo slideshows.
Click "Make GIF". Preview your animation, then download it.

Getting the Settings Right

Setting	What it does	Tip
Frame speed	How long each image shows	0.1 s for smooth animation, 0.5–1 s for slideshows
Width	Size of the GIF	480 px is great for chats and websites
Loop	Forever or play once	Most GIFs loop forever
Different sizes	What to do when images have different shapes	"Fit" keeps everything, "Crop" fills the frame
Transparent	Keeps see-through areas from PNGs	Great for stickers and logos

Keep Your GIF Small

GIFs can get big fast. Every frame is a full image, and GIF can only use 256 colors. To keep the file light:

Use fewer frames and a smaller width (320–480 px).
Avoid photos with lots of fine detail or noise.
Run the result through our GIF compressor.
For long clips, consider an MP4 instead. Our GIF to MP4 converter can turn it into a video that's often 80–90% smaller.

GIF Makers That Respect Your Privacy

Many GIF websites upload your photos to a server. This GIF maker doesn't. It builds the animation right in your browser. Your photos stay on your device, and there's no watermark.
