    How to turn images into a GIF

    01

    Add your pictures

    Choose JPG, PNG or other supported images. Use the arrow buttons to move a picture earlier or later in the animation.

    02

    Choose still or animated

    Keep separate GIF files for individual graphics, or combine images into one animation. Set the maximum size and, for animation, the frame delay.

    03

    Check and download

    Preview your animation before saving it. Download separate results individually or together in a ZIP. Your originals remain unchanged.

    CHOOSE THE RIGHT RESULT

    A single GIF or a moving sequence?

    A single image becomes a still GIF. This is useful when a form or older application asks for the GIF format. Saving a photo as GIF does not add motion or recover missing detail.

    Two or more images can become a simple animation: a product from different angles, a short visual instruction or a sequence of drawings. Each selected file contributes one frame.

    For mixed image sizes, the first frame sets the animation canvas within your chosen size limit. Other frames are centred and fitted without cropping or enlargement. Use matching dimensions for the most consistent result.

    Start with a short sequence

    Try 4–8 images at 640 px and 500 ms per frame. If the download is too large, reduce the size or remove frames.

    Frame delay changes playback speed. It does not remove frames or substantially reduce their stored pixel data.

    Example: 6 frames × 500 ms = a 3-second sequence.

    What changes when you convert to GIF?

    Source imageWhat to expect
    JPG photographsGIF’s limited palette may show bands in gradients or alter subtle colours. Keep your original for full-colour use.
    PNG graphicsText and shapes become indexed-colour pixels. This tool fills transparent areas with your chosen background.
    WebP imagesThe image becomes a GIF that may be larger. Animated WebP is read as one still image.
    A series of still imagesAnimation mode stores the images as ordered frames with a shared delay and playback setting.

    This lightweight converter uses a fixed 256-colour palette. GIF compresses those indexed pixels, but mapping a full-colour photograph to that palette can lose colour detail. Camera metadata, layers and original colour profiles are not preserved.

    Image to GIF questions

    Can I make an animated GIF from JPG or PNG images?

    Yes. Add the images, choose One animated GIF, arrange them with the arrow buttons and set the frame delay. Every image becomes one frame. A single image produces a still result.

    Is the converter free?

    Yes. This tool has no payment step, registration requirement or watermark. The displayed file and image limits help control memory use on your device.

    Can I keep a transparent background?

    This version fills transparent areas with your selected background colour. GIF can support a transparent palette entry, but this tool does not export transparency.

    Why does my GIF look different from the original photo?

    The converter maps colours to a fixed 256-colour palette. Photos with smooth gradients or many colours can show visible changes. Resizing can also soften small text and fine lines.

    Can I edit an existing animated GIF or convert a video?

    No. Animated image uploads contribute one still frame. This tool makes new animations from selected images; it does not split existing animations or process video files.

    How do I make the GIF smaller?

    Reduce Maximum size before converting. For an animation, use fewer frames. A longer frame delay slows playback but keeps the same number of stored frames.

    Does it work on a phone?

    It is designed for compatible mobile and desktop browsers. On a phone, use smaller batches and dimensions to reduce memory use. Your browser controls where downloaded files are saved.
