Make an Animated GIF from Images

This free images to GIF maker turns a set of pictures into one animated GIF. Select or drop the images - JPG, PNG, WebP, even other GIFs - and they line up in a strip in name order; tap one and move it with the arrows, or remove it with the cross. Set how long each image shows, whether the GIF loops forever or plays once, and how large it should be, and the preview plays the finished animation while the panel shows the frame count, the size and the running time. It makes a slideshow GIF out of holiday photos, a before-and-after that flips between two shots, or a flipbook from a folder of drawings.

Different Shapes, One Frame

The GIF takes the shape of the first image, scaled to the size you choose - 800 pixels on the long side by default, which keeps a twenty-photo GIF at a sensible file size. Every other image is fitted inside that frame and centred, with transparent space around it where the shapes differ, so nothing is cropped or stretched. Put the image whose shape you want first, and the rest follow.

Time, Loop and Size

Time per image runs from a tenth of a second, for a quick flipbook, to two seconds, for a slideshow people can actually look at. Loop forever is what most GIFs want; switch it off for an animation that ends on its last picture. Size caps the long side at 320, 480, 800 or 1024 pixels, or keeps the original - larger frames and more images both mean bigger files, and the panel shows the size before you download.

Private by Design

Your pictures never leave your device. They are decoded, arranged and encoded into a GIF entirely inside your browser; nothing is uploaded, there is no signup and no watermark, and once the page is open the tool even works offline.

Frequently Asked Questions About Making GIFs from Images

How do I make a GIF from photos?

Select the photos, arrange them in the strip, set the time per image and the size, check the preview, and download. Adding more later is one tap on Add images.

How do I change the order?

Tap an image in the strip and use the arrow buttons, or the left and right keys, to move it. The numbers on the thumbnails are the frame order.

Why do some frames have empty space around them?

Because the GIF takes the shape of the first image and fits the others inside it without cropping. Put a picture of the shape you want first, or crop the pictures to one shape before adding them.

How many colours does the GIF have?

GIF holds 256 colours in a shared palette, chosen here from all the images together. Photos with very different colours may shift a shade; graphics and screenshots come through exactly.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is transmitted anywhere, and the tool keeps working offline once the page is open.
