GIF Maker - Create Animated GIFs from Images

Create animated GIFs from multiple images with custom frame timing, size presets, and loop options. Drag and drop to reorder frames, set individual delays, and preview your animation in real-time.

Create animated GIFs from a series of images. Upload your frames, reorder them by dragging, set per-frame or uniform delays, pick an output size, and control loop behavior. Whether you are making a simple animation from screenshots or building frame-by-frame artwork, this tool handles the GIF encoding right in your browser.

Frames are assembled at your chosen delay and quantised to a shared palette to keep the file small while staying smooth. Browser-side encoding means the frames are not uploaded.

The Details

GIF encoding uses LZW compression and supports up to 256 colors per frame. The encoder builds a color palette and writes the frames with your chosen timing to keep the file reasonable. You can set a uniform delay or override individual frame delays, choose between looping forever or a fixed number of times (such as once, 3x, or 5x), scale the output to a size preset (Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, or Original), and preview the animation before exporting.

Frequently asked questions

Can I import a video to make a GIF?

No. This tool builds GIFs from image frames you upload. To turn a video into frames first, export stills from the video and add them as frames here.

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIFs are not efficiently compressed by modern standards. Reduce the output size, lower the frame count, or use simpler images to shrink the file.

What is the maximum number of frames?

There is no hard limit, but more frames mean larger files. Most shareable GIFs work best with 10-60 frames.

Can I control animation speed?

Yes. Set the delay between frames in milliseconds, either uniformly or per frame. Lower values mean faster animation.

Why does my GIF look grainy?

GIF is limited to 256 colors per frame. Photos with smooth gradients may show banding. This is a limitation of the format itself.
