Free Online GIF Maker - Create Animated GIFs from Images
Our online GIF maker turns a set of still images into one animated GIF. Add your photos, set the delay between frames, choose the output size and background, then download the loop.
The image to GIF creator supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP image formats with up to 50 frames per animation, enough for a product shown from several angles, a before-and-after sequence, or a rotating banner. Frame delay, output dimensions, and background settings are all adjustable.
Every animated GIF is made without uploading anything. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy. The built-in live preview lets you see your animation before downloading, so you can fine-tune timing and check the frame order for the perfect result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What image formats are supported?
The GIF maker supports JPG, PNG, and WEBP image formats. PNG images with transparency are preserved when the transparent background option is enabled.
How many images can I use?
You can upload up to 50 images per animation. For the best results, use between 5 and 30 frames. More frames create smoother animations but result in larger file sizes.
Can I create GIFs with transparent backgrounds?
Yes, enable the "Use transparent background" checkbox in the settings. This works best with PNG images that already have transparent areas. The resulting GIF will preserve transparency for overlay use.
How do I control the animation speed?
Adjust the "Frame Delay" setting in milliseconds. Lower values (e.g., 100ms) create faster animations, while higher values (e.g., 1000ms) create slower slideshows. The default 500ms works well for most use cases.
Tips & Best Practices
- Use consistent image sizes: Upload images with the same dimensions for the smoothest results. Enable auto-resize to handle mixed sizes automatically.
- Optimize frame count: More frames mean smoother animation but larger files. For web use, 10-20 frames usually provide the best balance.
- Set appropriate dimensions: Keep the output width under 480px for web and email use. Larger dimensions increase file size significantly.
- Preview before creating: Always use the preview function to check your animation timing and frame order before generating the final GIF.
- Choose the right delay: Use 200-500ms for photo slideshows and 50-150ms for animation-style GIFs that need to feel smooth and fluid.
- Consider file size: If your GIF is too large, reduce the number of frames, lower the output dimensions, or simplify the image content for better compression.
