Tips for Great GIFs

  • Keep it short: The best GIFs are 5–15 frames. Too many frames create very large files that load slowly.
  • Use consistent image sizes: For best results, use images with the same aspect ratio. The tool can crop or letterbox different sizes, but uniform images look best.
  • Choose the right delay: 200–500 ms works well for slideshows. 50–100 ms is better for smooth animations or pixel art.
  • Reduce output width: GIFs at 480px or smaller look great on the web and keep file sizes manageable. A 1920px GIF will be enormous.
  • Use "Contain" mode for mixed sizes: If your images have different aspect ratios, Contain mode will show each image fully with a background fill.
  • Reorder matters: Drag frames to arrange the story. The first frame is also used as the GIF thumbnail in most apps.
  • Optimize colors: Photos with fewer colors (illustrations, diagrams, pixel art) produce smaller, crisper GIFs than complex photographs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it free? Are there any limits?
Yes, completely free with no limits. There's no watermark, no sign-up, and no file count restriction. Everything runs in your browser.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens 100% in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device. Nothing is stored or transmitted.
What's the maximum number of images I can use?
There's no hard limit, but very large sets (50+ high-resolution images) may be slow depending on your device's memory. For best performance, keep it under 30 frames and reduce the output width.
Can I control the animation speed?
Yes! Use the Frame Delay slider to set the time each frame is shown, from 20 ms (very fast) to 5000 ms (5 seconds per frame). You can create anything from rapid animations to slow slideshows.
My images are different sizes. What happens?
Use the Image Fit Mode option: "Cover" fills the frame (may crop edges), "Contain" fits the whole image inside with a background color, and "Stretch" distorts the image to fill. You can also pick the background color for letterboxing.
Can I reorder the frames after uploading?
Yes! Simply drag and drop the image thumbnails to rearrange the frame order. The number on each thumbnail shows its position in the animation.
Why is my GIF file so large?
GIF is an uncompressed-per-frame format. Large dimensions and many frames quickly increase file size. To reduce size: lower the output width (e.g. 320px instead of 480px), use fewer frames, and prefer images with fewer colors (illustrations work better than photos).
Does the GIF loop forever?
By default, yes (infinite loop). You can change this with the Loop Count option to play once, or loop a specific number of times (2, 3, 5, or 10).
