GIF Maker

What is GIF Maker?

GIF Maker is a free, browser-based animator that combines multiple PNG and JPEG images into one looping animated GIF. Each image you add becomes a frame, played in the order shown, at the frame delay you choose in milliseconds. It is handy for designers, social media managers, teachers, and developers who want to turn a sequence of screenshots, sprite frames, or photos into a quick shareable animation without installing software. Add your images, reorder or remove frames, set the frame delay and whether the GIF loops forever or plays once, then export an animation.gif file.

How to use GIF Maker

1. Drag and drop your PNG or JPEG images onto the dropzone, or click it to browse and select files (the order you add them is the playback order).
2. Review the queued frames in the list, where each row shows a frame number, a thumbnail, and the file name; click a thumbnail to open it larger in a lightbox.
3. Use the up and down arrow buttons to reorder frames, or the remove button to drop any frame you don't want.
4. Set the Frame delay in milliseconds to control playback speed, and choose whether the GIF should loop forever or play once.
5. Watch the live GIF preview update as you change frames or settings, then click Download to save the animation.gif file.

Frequently asked questions

Which image formats can I use as frames?

PNG and JPEG images are supported. Files that are not recognized as images are ignored when dropped, so only valid pictures become frames.

What does the frame delay setting do?

Frame delay is the time each frame stays on screen, in milliseconds. A smaller value plays the animation faster; a larger value slows it down.

Can I control whether the GIF loops?

Yes. The loop option lets you choose to loop forever, which most viewers play continuously, or play once so the animation stops on the last frame.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Frames are drawn onto a canvas and encoded into a GIF with the gifenc library entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device, so it is fully private and works offline.

Why does the GIF look different from my originals?

The GIF format is limited to 256 colors per frame, so photographs and gradients are reduced to a smaller palette during encoding. Flat graphics and simple illustrations keep the closest appearance.
