GIF Maker from Photos

Turn a few photos into a GIF

Burst shots, a child's growth photos or a product from several angles become a GIF that plays automatically in chats, blogs and forums. This tool strings your photos into an animated GIF and plays it on screen before you download. Reorder with ▲ ▼ and remove photos you don't need.

Settings

• Time per frame — 0.2–0.4 s for continuous motion like burst shots, 1–2 s for a slideshow.
• Width — GIF size grows fast with dimensions. 320–480 px is plenty for chats, about 640 px for blogs.
• Fit — when photos have different shapes, crop them to the first photo's ratio or pad them so the whole photo shows.
• Boomerang — plays to the end and back, so short motions loop smoothly.
• Loop — usually “Forever”; “Play once” stops on the last frame.

GIF limitations

GIF frames hold at most 256 colors, so smooth areas such as sky or skin can show banding. In exchange, GIFs autoplay silently almost everywhere. If the file is too big, reduce the width or the number of photos. The size of the finished GIF is shown after download.

To turn a video clip into a GIF, use Video to GIF; to put several photos in one image, use Photo Collage Maker. Everything happens on this device.
