About this tool
A GIF maker joins a set of still images into one animated GIF. Add between 2 and 100 pictures, put them in order, and the tool plays them one after another with the delay you choose, which suits slideshows, product views and simple step-by-step demos.
The first image decides the shape of the GIF. Every other image is fitted inside that shape without stretching and centered on a white or black background. The frames are drawn in your browser and joined by FFmpeg, which builds one shared 256-color palette. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Why is my GIF larger than my images?
GIF stores every frame without modern compression, so many frames at 640 pixels wide add up fast. Use a smaller width or fewer images to shrink the file.
How many images can I use?
At least 2 and at most 100. The Create GIF button stays disabled until two images are in the list.
Why does the first GIF take longer to start?
The first job downloads the FFmpeg engine of about 32 MB. It is cached afterwards, so later GIFs start straight away.
Can I use an animated GIF as one of the frames?
Yes, but only its first frame is used. To turn a video clip into a GIF, use the video converter instead.
Are my images uploaded to build the GIF?
No. Frames are drawn on canvases in your browser and passed to an FFmpeg build that runs on your device.
