Make an Animated GIF From Images
Combine up to 50 photos or frames into a looping animated GIF. Set the order, speed, size and colours, watch a live preview, then download a GIF that plays almost anywhere, all created in your browser without uploading your pictures.
Your image is processed by your own browser and never uploaded. Many online editors send your photo to their servers and delete it later — this one never receives it at all.

GIF Maker: frequently asked questions
How do I make a GIF from pictures?
Drop your images in, drag them into the order you want, and set how long each frame should show. Choose a width and whether the animation loops, check the live preview, then click Create GIF and download it. Everything runs in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.
How do I make a GIF that loops forever?
Leave the Loop forever option switched on and the GIF will repeat endlessly in browsers, chat apps and most social platforms. Turn it off if you want the animation to play once and stop on the last frame, which works well for short reveals and step-by-step demonstrations.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF is an old format that stores every frame with a palette of at most 256 colours and weak compression, so photo-heavy animations get big quickly. The size estimate warns you before you export: reduce the output width, use fewer frames or choose fewer colours to keep it small enough for email and chat apps.
What frame delay should I use?
Around 100 milliseconds per frame gives smooth, quick motion for burst photos, while 500 milliseconds to 1 second suits slideshow-style GIFs where each image needs to be seen. The live preview plays at the delay you set, so adjust it until the animation feels right.
What if my photos have different shapes?
Pick the GIF's shape, such as square or 16:9, or keep the first frame's shape. Frames that don't match are either fitted inside with a background colour you choose, or cropped to fill the whole frame, so the animation never jumps between sizes.
Are my images uploaded to make the GIF?
No. The frames are encoded into a GIF by your browser on your own device, so your photos are never sent to a server. You can add up to 50 images; very long or wide GIFs depend on your device's memory, so keep the width modest for long animations.
