How to Make a GIF from Images

Turn a sequence of still images into a simple looping animation, with control over frame order, speed, and size.

A GIF made from images is a short sequence of frames that plays in order and repeats. It works well for a simple demonstration, a step-by-step visual, or a playful loop.

Prepare the images

Choose at least two images that belong in the same sequence. Frames with similar dimensions and framing tend to look steadier. If one image is much wider or taller than the others, the GIF Maker fits the frames into a shared canvas and leaves a plain background around smaller frames.

Think about the sequence before uploading. For a process, put the first step first and the finished result last. You can use the frame controls to move images up or down and click a thumbnail to preview it.

Set the timing and size

  1. Add the images. Select several image files at once, or drop them into the frame area.
  2. Arrange the frames. Move them until the animation tells the story in the right order.
  3. Choose a frame speed. A shorter delay feels quicker; a longer delay gives viewers more time to look at each image.
  4. Pick an output size. Smaller dimensions usually make a lighter GIF. Use the largest option only when the extra detail is useful.
  5. Create and preview. Check the loop before downloading, then adjust the order or timing if it feels too fast or too slow.

Why can a GIF look different from the originals?

The GIF format supports a palette of up to 256 colors per frame. Photographs and gradients can therefore show less subtle color than the original files. If preserving photographic detail matters more than looping compatibility, consider sharing the original images or making a video instead.

Common questions

Does each image have its own speed?

In the current GIF Maker, all frames use the same delay. Choose a speed that works for the whole sequence.

Are my images uploaded?

No. The GIF is assembled in your browser, and the images remain on your device.

When you are ready, open the GIF Maker to arrange your frames and export the animation.
