Common questions
How do I make a GIF from images?
Upload your pictures, drag them into order, and choose the delay and transition. Check the live preview, then open Download to export your animated GIF.
Is this GIF maker free?
Yes. You can create and download GIFs without registration or a watermark. No software installation is required.
Which image formats can I use?
Use JPG, PNG, or WebP files, including a mix of these formats. For a page focused on JPEG photos, use our JPG to GIF converter.
How many images can I upload?
The editor accepts up to 15 images, with a maximum of 5 MB per image.
Does one photo become a moving scene?
Movement comes from a sequence of different poses. Use burst photos, stop-motion shots, or drawings with small changes between them, then play them with no transition. One photograph on its own will remain still.
Can I change the animation speed?
Yes. Delay sets the time on each picture and applies to the whole sequence. Use a short delay for consecutive poses and a longer one for reading or comparing details. With a transition enabled, Motion sets the time spent changing between pictures.
Why is my GIF so large?
Detailed photos, large output dimensions, and animated transitions can increase file size. Try a smaller export width or fewer images. If the animation already looks right, use our GIF compressor to reduce its size.
Can I add captions or use a carousel layout?
Use our GIF slideshow maker for captions and layouts such as Carousel, Trio, Overlay, and Perimeter. This image to GIF maker focuses on a simple sequence of pictures.
Can I make a GIF from a video?
For a video file, use our video to GIF converter. It lets you select a clip and adjust the output settings before conversion.
Will the GIF loop?
Yes. The exported GIF repeats the sequence. Playback and upload limits depend on the website, email client, or app where you use it.
