About Image to GIF

Combine several still images (PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, SVG or HEIC) into an animated GIF, with each image becoming one frame. It works as a simple slideshow or stop-motion maker. A single image also works if you just need a still GIF.

When it helps

  • Making a before-and-after comparison that flips between two photos.
  • Building a stop-motion animation or flipbook from a sequence of photos.
  • Creating a simple rotating banner or slideshow from product shots.
  • Converting a set of exported frames from a drawing app into a playable animation.

Tips

  • The first image sets the canvas size. Later images with different proportions are scaled to fit and centred on a solid background, so crop your images to the same aspect ratio first for a clean result.
  • The frame rate slider (6 to 24 fps) sets how long each image stays on screen. For a slideshow, use the lowest setting; for stop-motion, try 8 to 12 fps.
  • Use the max width and height fields to shrink large photos. A GIF built from full-resolution phone photos will be very large.
  • Each frame gets its own 256-colour palette, so photos keep reasonable colour, but smooth gradients may still show dithering.

Good to know

Select all the images at once, set the frame rate and max size, and convert. Each image becomes one frame of the GIF, which loops forever.

The slowest setting is 6 frames per second, which shows each image for about a sixth of a second. For a longer hold, add the same image several times in a row, or slow the result down with the GIF speed tool.
