Make a GIF From Pictures

What this does

Drop in two or more pictures and this page plays them one after another as an animated GIF — a little slideshow that loops. Use the arrows to put them in order, choose how long each stays on screen, then press Make GIF.

How to use it

1. Drop your pictures onto the box, or press Choose pictures.
2. Use the arrows to put them in order.
3. Choose the time on each picture, the width, and whether it loops.
4. Press Make GIF, check the preview, and press Save GIF.

Making a GIF from pictures

Choose two or more pictures and the page joins them into one looping GIF, like a simple flip-book. It is handy for before-and-after comparisons, product views, step-by-step instructions and small animations from a series of photos. You choose the order and how long each picture shows.

Tips for a smooth result

Use pictures of the same size and shape so the frames line up. Take a series from the same spot, with the phone held steady, for the smoothest effect. Keep the number of frames and the picture size modest, because GIFs grow quickly. A short delay of a fraction of a second makes the animation feel quick, while a delay of a second or more suits a slideshow.

Privacy

Questions people ask

What if my pictures are different shapes?

Every frame takes the shape of the first picture. The others are fitted inside it with white around them, so nothing is cut off.

Why is the file big?

GIF is an old format and makes large files. Use fewer pictures, or choose a smaller width.

Can I use iPhone photos?

Yes. iPhone photos are converted first.

Are my pictures uploaded?

No. The GIF is made inside your browser, so your pictures never leave your device.
