A 5-frame product showcase
5 product photos at 400ms each produce a 2-second looping GIF, typically well under 1 MB at the 320×320 preset — small enough to attach almost anywhere.
Video to GIF? Image-sequence maker instead
Searching for video to GIF? Upload several still images in order instead and get back a real, from-scratch-encoded animated GIF, built entirely in your browser. SCOPE, stated honestly: true video decoding — extracting frames out of an uploaded MP4/MOV file — needs a video codec, which is out of scope without a heavy new dependency. This tool animates a SEQUENCE OF STILL IMAGES instead, which is a genuinely different, narrower, but honestly real and working feature.

How to make a GIF from a sequence of images
- Add your images in order. Click to add several images at once — they animate in the order shown in the list, which you can reorder with the Up/Down buttons.
- Choose an output size. Pick a preset size — a smaller size encodes faster and produces a smaller file.
- Set the delay per frame. Choose how long each image displays before advancing to the next, from 50ms (very fast) to 2 seconds.
- Build the GIF. Click "Build GIF" to encode — this runs the real GIF89a encoder and LZW compression in your browser.
- Download the animation. Download the result as a real, working .gif file, playable anywhere a GIF is supported.
Worked examples
Not a video converter
Uploading an MP4 file to this tool will not work — it accepts still images only (JPEG, PNG, WebP), since real video-frame extraction needs a codec this tool does not include.
GIF maker FAQ
- Can I upload a video file to this tool?
- No — it accepts still images only. Real video decoding needs a video codec library, which is out of scope for a dependency-free browser tool; see the reframed video-editor and video-converter pages for the honest story on video specifically.
- Is the resulting GIF a real, working animated GIF?
- Yes — it is encoded with a genuine, from-scratch GIF89a encoder including real LZW compression, not a fake or placeholder file; it plays and loops in any GIF-compatible viewer.
- Why does the color look slightly different from my original image?
- GIF supports at most 256 colors per frame; this tool quantizes each frame to a fixed 252-color palette, which is a real but visible simplification for photos with smooth gradients.
- How many images can I use?
- There is no hard cap, but more frames and a larger output size both increase encoding time and file size — a handful of frames at a small size encodes in well under a second.
- Does the GIF loop automatically?
- Yes — every GIF this tool produces includes the standard loop-forever extension, so it replays continuously wherever it is viewed.
- Is my image data uploaded anywhere?
- No — every image and the entire GIF encoding process stays in your browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
