How to make an animated GIF from images
- Add at least two images and arrange them in animation order.
- Set seconds per picture, width and looping.
- Click Make GIF and download the animation.
An animated GIF plays several pictures in a loop with no sound and no video player, so it shows up everywhere: in email, on websites, in presentations and chat apps. It's handy for showing a product from several angles, a before-and-after, the steps of a tutorial or a small greeting animation.
Arrange your pictures in order, then choose how long each one stays on screen (0.1 to 10 seconds). One second works for a slideshow; 0.1–0.3 seconds gives smoother motion. The first picture sets the GIF's shape — pictures with a different shape are centered on white.
GIF is limited to 256 colors and can get heavy quickly. Keep the width at 480 or 640 px for messaging, and use 1080 px only when sharpness really matters. Untick “Loop forever” if the animation should stop after one pass.
Use up to 50 pictures. Files are processed in memory and deleted automatically after 30 minutes.
Frequently asked questions
How many pictures do I need?
At least two and up to 50. The animation follows the order you arranged them in.
Why is my GIF so big?
Every frame is stored in full. Lower the width to 480 or 320 px, or use fewer pictures, for a lighter file.
Can I make a GIF from a video?
No, the tool combines images (JPG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC…). You can take screenshots of your video and add them.
Are colors kept?
GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. Photos still look good, but smooth gradients can show slight grain.
Is it free?
Yes, free, with no sign-up and no watermark added to your GIF.
