Make animated GIFs from pictures
Select the images in order, choose how long each frame shows, and create the GIF — a preview plays right on the page. Frames of different sizes are either fitted inside the canvas on a background colour or cropped to fill it.
Choose the width (320–800 px), loop forever or play once, and trade colour quality for file size. The encoder runs in your browser, so even personal photos stay private.

Tips and good to know
- GIFs support only 256 colours per frame, so photos with smooth gradients may show banding. Keep 256 colours for photos.
- Smaller widths and fewer frames make much lighter files — important for email and Slack.
- To pull frames out of an existing GIF, use the GIF Splitter.
