Guide
Helpful notes before you convert
Make a custom animated GIF from a set of still images, right in your browser. Upload your frames, arrange the order, set the timing, and download a clean GIF that is ready to share.
The GIF Maker accepts common image formats such as JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, and GIF. Mixed formats and different image sizes are fine because the frames are normalized while the animation is built.
How to Make a GIF from Images
- Upload your images by dragging them into the upload box or choosing several files from your device.
- Order your frames so the animation plays in the exact sequence you want.
- Set the frame delay to control how fast the animation plays.
- Generate the GIF, preview it, then download the finished animation.
How Do I Control the Animation Speed?
GIF speed is controlled by frame delay. A larger delay makes the animation slower, while a smaller delay makes it faster.
A 100 ms delay is roughly 10 frames per second. Avoid extremely tiny delays because some browsers clamp very fast GIF timing and play them slower than expected.
What If My Images Are Different Sizes?
When source images do not share the same dimensions, resize them before exporting or choose output dimensions that fit the smallest frame. Keeping one consistent canvas prevents jumping edges and uneven playback.
How Do I Keep the GIF File Size Down?
- Use fewer colors when the animation is made from graphics, logos, or screen captures.
- Reduce the width and height to the size where the GIF will actually display.
- Remove unnecessary frames or shorten pauses at the beginning and end.
- Use a slightly longer delay when smooth motion is less important than file size.
GIF vs WebP vs APNG vs MP4
Use GIF when you need universal compatibility for short silent loops, memes, reactions, and chat animations. If file size or color fidelity matters more, animated WebP or MP4 can be much smaller and smoother.
GIF has no audio channel. If you need sound, export the animation as video instead of a real .gif file.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GIF Maker free?
Yes. You can make animated GIFs online with no watermark, no sign-up, and no account requirement.
Do you add a watermark to my GIF?
No. The exported GIF is clean, so it is ready to publish, embed, or share.
What image formats can I upload?
You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF, GIF, and most image formats your browser can read.
Can I add sound to my GIF?
No. The GIF format has no audio track. Use MP4 or WebM if the animation needs music, voice, or sound effects.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
The maker runs in the browser where practical, so your images are used to build the GIF and are not published unless you choose to share the result.
