What is the difference between an animated GIF and a video file?
An animated GIF stores a sequence of bitmap frames inside a single image file and plays them in order, silently and on an endless loop by default. A video format like MP4 or WebM uses compression designed for motion and sound, so it produces much smaller files for long or high-resolution footage and can carry audio. The trade-off is reach: a GIF plays almost anywhere an image can — chats, forums, README files, slides — with no player, plugin, or codec, while video needs a player and sometimes specific format support. That is why GIFs remain the go-to for short, silent, auto-looping clips and reaction snippets, and video wins for anything long or detailed. This tool builds a true GIF from your still images entirely in your browser, so add your frames and download a looping animation in seconds.
Why is my GIF file so large, and how can I make it smaller?
GIF files grow quickly because the format stores each frame as its own bitmap with limited compression, so size scales with the number of frames, their pixel dimensions, and how much color and detail they contain. The biggest levers are frame count and resolution: fewer frames and smaller images mean a noticeably lighter file. This tool already caps output at 800 pixels on the longest side and scales larger images down to fit, which keeps encoding fast and file sizes reasonable. To shrink it further, use only the frames you need, crop or resize your source images before adding them, and avoid very busy or photographic content where flat graphics would do. Set your delay and loop, then create the GIF and check the result; if it is heavier than you want, remove a few frames and re-encode.
What frame delay should I use for a smooth GIF animation?
Frame delay is the pause between frames, measured in milliseconds, and it is the inverse of frame rate: a 100ms delay is roughly 10 frames per second, while 500ms is about 2 fps. For animation that feels smooth, shorter delays around 50 to 100ms work well, but they need more frames to cover the same motion, which increases file size. Longer delays of 300 to 1000ms create a deliberate, slideshow-style pace that suits step-by-step demos or before-and-after comparisons. The slider here ranges from 50 to 1000ms and shows the equivalent frame rate as you drag, so you can dial in the feel directly. Use the live preview to watch your frames cycle at the chosen speed before encoding, then adjust the delay until the timing looks right and create your GIF.
Can I combine existing GIFs into one animation with this tool?
You can add an existing GIF as a frame, but it is treated as a single still image rather than as its own animation, so its internal motion is not carried over — only the first visible frame is used. The tool is designed to build an animation from individual pictures you supply, including PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF files, and then stitch them into one new looping GIF. That means you cannot merge two already-animated GIFs and keep both of their frame sequences in a single step. If you want to combine motion from multiple sources, export those clips as separate still frames first, then add them here in the order you want. Once your frames are arranged, set the delay and loop, preview the sequence, and create a fresh animated GIF to download.
Why does my GIF look smaller than my original images?
To keep encoding fast and the output file a sensible size, the tool caps the GIF at 800 pixels on its longest side. If any of your source images are larger than that, they are scaled down proportionally to fit within the limit, which is why a high-resolution photo can come out smaller than the original. Frames are also drawn onto a single canvas sized to the largest dimensions in your set, so mixing very different image sizes can leave smaller frames stretched or surrounded by space. For the cleanest, sharpest result, prepare your images at similar dimensions and at or below 800 pixels before adding them, so no downscaling is needed. Arrange your frames, set the delay and loop, preview the sequence, and create your GIF knowing the size is tuned for smooth playback and easy sharing.

About the GIF Maker
The GIF Maker turns a set of still images into a single looping animated GIF, right in your browser. Add your photos, put them in the order you want, choose how fast they play, and download a finished .gif you can drop into a chat, a forum post, a README, or a slide. It is built for anyone who needs a quick animation without opening heavyweight video software — meme-makers, developers showing off a UI, teachers building a step-by-step demo, or anyone stitching a burst of photos into a short loop.
A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a bitmap format that stores multiple frames and plays them in sequence, which is why it has become the default way to share short, silent, auto-looping clips on the web. Because the format is so widely supported, an animated GIF plays almost everywhere an image can — no player, plugin, or codec required.
Building your animation frame by frame
You assemble the animation one frame at a time from images you supply. Click the drop zone or drag files straight onto it to add pictures; you can add up to 20 frames, and the counter shows how many you have used. Each frame appears in a list where you can drag the handle to reorder it or remove it with one click, so the playback order is entirely yours to arrange. Any standard image type your browser can open works as a frame, including PNG, JPG, WebP, and even existing GIFs (each is treated as a single still). You need at least two frames before the GIF can be created.
A live preview sits beside the editor. Press Preview to watch the frames cycle at your chosen speed before you commit, and step through them one at a time to check the sequence. This catches an out-of-order frame or a too-fast loop before you spend time encoding.
Controlling speed and looping
Two settings shape how the animation feels:
- Frame delay — a slider from 50 to 1000 milliseconds per frame. The tool shows the equivalent frame rate as you drag, so 100ms reads as roughly 10 fps and 500ms as 2 fps. Shorter delays make a smoother, faster animation; longer delays create a deliberate, slideshow-style pace.
- Loop — on by default, so the GIF replays endlessly. Turn it off and the animation plays through once and stops on the final frame.
When you click Create GIF, frames are drawn onto a canvas and encoded into a real GIF file. To keep encoding fast and the file size reasonable, output is capped at 800 pixels on its longest side; larger images are scaled down to fit. A progress bar tracks the encode, and when it finishes you can preview the result and download it as animated.gif.
Everything runs in your browser
The GIF Maker does its work client-side. Your images are read, arranged, and encoded on your own device using a JavaScript GIF encoder (the open-source gif.js library), and the finished file is built locally — your photos are never uploaded to a server for processing. That keeps private screenshots, product mockups, and personal photos on your machine. There is no account, no watermark, and no usage limit.
One practical note: the encoder library itself is loaded from a public CDN the first time you open the tool, so you do need an internet connection to start. After that, the actual image data stays on your device throughout. Encoding speed depends on your own hardware and the number and size of frames rather than on a server queue, so a handful of small frames finishes almost instantly while 20 large ones take a little longer.
To get started, add at least two images above, set your frame delay and loop preference, preview the result, and click Create GIF to download your animation.
