Make a GIF From Images

Build an animation or slideshow from a set of still images.

Turn images into an animated GIF, or photos into an MP4 or WEBM slideshow, at the speed you choose. Free, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded.

What Make a GIF From Images is for

For turning a set of stills into something that moves: a time-lapse from a folder of photos, a short product loop, or a slideshow that plays by itself in an email where video would be blocked.

How to use it

  1. Add your files. Drop them on the page or choose them. They stay on your device.
  2. Set the output format and quality. The defaults suit most files.
  3. Press convert and save the results, individually or as one ZIP.

Questions

What order will the images play in?

The order they are added, which follows the filename. Numbering files 01, 02, 03 rather than 1, 2, 3 keeps them in sequence, because 10 sorts before 2.

Should I make a GIF or a video?

GIF if it has to play in an email or a chat client that blocks video. Video for anything longer than a few seconds: it is far smaller and holds millions of colours instead of 256.

What frame rate should I use?

Two to five frames a second reads as a slideshow. Twelve or more reads as motion. GIF files grow directly with the frame count, so the rate is the main control over size.

Do the images need to be the same size?

It helps. Mismatched sizes are fitted to a common frame with the letterbox colour filling the gaps, so a set that is already consistent gives a cleaner result.
