Stills in, animation out
Drop a sequence of images — product shots, drawing steps, camera bursts, screenshots of a process — and this tool stitches them into a looping animated GIF, entirely in your browser (encoding by the open-source gif.js library). Reorder frames with the arrows, tune the delay, and pick a width that suits the job: 480 px for chat and social posts, wider for a website hero. Two frames minimum; a dozen or more makes a proper little movie.
How to use it
- Add your frames — the list order is the play order; use ↑ ↓ to fix it.
- Set the delay: 100–200 ms feels like video, 300–500 ms is a slideshow, 1000 ms+ is a slow reveal.
- Choose width, loop count and quality.
- Press Make GIF, watch the preview loop, and download.
GIF realities
GIF is a 1987 format with a 256-colour palette per frame: smooth photo gradients will band a little, and long or wide GIFs grow big fast — a 20-frame 800 px GIF can pass 10 MB. For web pages, a video file is usually smaller; for chat, stickers and emails, GIF still wins on sheer compatibility.
Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. Frames are drawn and encoded on your device by gif.js running in a background worker. Nothing is sent to a server.
Why does my GIF look grainy?
GIF limits each frame to 256 colours. Lowering the quality number (better quality), shrinking the width, or using flatter source images all reduce the grain. The banding is the format, not the tool.
How big can the GIF be?
Frames are capped at 1200 px wide. Long sequences at wide sizes produce very large files — the stats panel shows the expected frame size before you encode, and the result size afterwards.
Can I make a GIF from a video?
Not on this page — it works from still images. (Your browser can play the video, but slicing it into frames reliably is a different tool.)
