About GIF Maker
Uses gif.js with two web workers to encode frames in parallel. Each image is letterboxed onto the same output canvas so aspect ratio differences don't break the animation. Lower the quality value for sharper colors (smaller numbers = better).

Frequently Asked Questions
Drop two or more images in the order you want them to animate, adjust frame delay, output width and quality, then Render GIF. The encoder runs in your browser with two web workers, and the result downloads as animation.gif — ready to drop into Slack, Discord, GitHub, or anywhere else GIFs are welcome.
usageFor natural-looking motion, 100-150ms per frame gives ~7-10 frames per second — like classic animation. 50-80ms feels modern and snappy. 300-500ms creates a deliberate "slideshow" pace that's good for before/after comparisons or product reveals. Match the delay to your content type.
tipsFor chat platforms and social media, 480-720px wide is a good sweet spot — sharp on phones, fast to upload. For embedded blog GIFs, 640-800px is standard. Going above 1280px makes the file huge with little visual benefit since GIF maxes at 256 colors.
tipsGIF supports only 256 colors per frame. Photo-heavy content (skin tones, gradients, sunsets) is the hardest case. Lower the Quality slider value (smaller number = better color quantisation, but slower encode) and the dithering will improve. Or switch to MP4/WebM for true-color motion.
qualityYes — each frame is letterboxed onto a uniform canvas (matching the first frame's aspect ratio) with a white background, so mixing portrait and landscape frames won't break the animation. For consistent results, resize your source images to the same dimensions first using our Resize Image tool.
technicalYes — the "Loop forever" toggle is on by default. Disable it for a single-play GIF (sometimes preferred for live event captures and instructional content where you want viewers to stop on the final frame).
featuresYes — every frame is encoded in your browser with gif.js running in web workers. Source images are not uploaded. This is critical for prototype animations, internal demos and content for unreleased products.
privacyFree, unlimited frames, no watermark on the output, no signup. The encoder is fast enough that even 50-frame animations finish in under 30 seconds on a typical laptop.
pricingUse Cases
Product Demo Walkthroughs
A 5-second GIF showing your app's key interaction is more engaging than a static screenshot and lighter than a video. Drop in 4-8 frames captured during development and ship to landing pages.
Slack & Discord Reactions
Build team-specific reaction GIFs from group photos, screenshots of inside jokes, or animated logos. Drop them into Slack as custom emoji or Discord as server stickers.
Before / After Comparisons
Photo retouching, home renovation, weight loss, or design iteration — show the transformation as a back-and-forth GIF that grabs attention on social media in a way two static images can't.
Animated Avatar & Profile Pictures
Twitch, Discord and some social platforms support animated avatars. Build a subtle pulsing or color-shifting loop from 3-5 frames of your portrait or logo.
Process Documentation
Document a multi-step workflow (build pipeline status, dashboard updates over time, growth chart over a quarter) as a GIF that auto-plays in any Markdown viewer — GitHub README, Notion, Confluence.
Educational Stop-Motion
Teachers create stop-motion GIFs from a series of whiteboard photos, lab demonstration shots, or step-by-step craft project images. Great for visual learners.
