How to make one

Open the GIF Maker and add your images in the order they should play.
Set the frame delay (how long each image shows) and whether it loops.
Preview and download the GIF.

Tips for a good GIF

Same dimensions: frames of different sizes look jumpy. Resize them to match first with the Image Resizer, or crop them to the same shape with the Image Cropper.
Frame speed: ~100ms per frame is smooth; slower makes a slideshow feel.
Keep it short: GIFs are large by nature, so fewer frames and smaller dimensions keep the file manageable.

What GIFs are good for

Short reaction clips, simple animations, step-by-step demos, and anything that needs to autoplay silently in a chat or on a page.

Private

The GIF is built in your browser — your images are never uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIFs store every frame, so size grows fast. Use smaller dimensions and fewer frames, and resize all images to the same size to keep it compact.

Can I control the animation speed?

Yes — set the frame delay. Around 100 milliseconds per frame looks smooth; increase it for a slower slideshow effect.
