GIF Maker
Turn a sequence of photos, screenshots or drawings into an animated GIF. Put the frames in order, give each one its own display time, choose how many colors to keep and download a GIF that loops in any browser, chat app or slide deck.
The interactive tool loads here when JavaScript is enabled. Files are processed locally in your browser.
How to use GIF Maker
- Add two or more JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF images.
- Reorder the frames and set a delay in milliseconds for each one.
- Choose looping and the color count, then select Build GIF.
- Preview the animation and download the .gif file.
Features
- Per-frame delays from 20 ms upward, so title cards can linger while action frames move quickly.
- Frames of different sizes are scaled onto one canvas without distortion of the overall animation size.
- A single shared 8–256 color palette keeps the file small and consistent between frames.
- Encoding runs in a background worker in your browser; images are never uploaded.
Supported formats and limitations
Input: JPG, PNG, WebP or GIF images (up to 60 frames). Output: animated GIF.
- GIF stores at most 256 colours per frame, so photos with smooth gradients show banding.
- Semi-transparent pixels become fully opaque or fully transparent.
Frequently asked questions
How many images can I turn into a GIF?
Up to 60 frames per animation. Very large photos are best resized first, because a GIF stores every frame at full size.
Why does my GIF look grainier than the original photos?
The GIF format is limited to 256 colors per frame. Photos with smooth gradients lose some detail; graphics, screenshots and illustrations convert with little visible change.
Does the GIF keep transparency?
Fully transparent pixels in PNG or WebP frames stay transparent. Semi-transparent edges become either solid or transparent, because GIF has no partial transparency.
