GIF Maker
Turn photos or a short video clip into an animated GIF in your browser — reorder frames, set the speed, size and looping.
Change these before dropping a video in.

Frames are encoded in a Web Worker, so the page stays responsive. A 480 px GIF with 30 frames usually takes a few seconds.

How to make a GIF
- Drop your pictures in — they become frames in the order you add them. You can also drop a short MP4 or WebM and the tool samples frames out of it.
- Reorder frames with the arrows, delete the ones you do not want, then set the GIF width, the delay between frames and whether it should loop.
- Press Make GIF, watch the progress bar, then download the result.
FAQ
How do I control the speed?
The frame delay is in milliseconds: 100 ms is 10 frames per second, 40 ms is a fast 25 fps. Most viewers refuse to go below about 20 ms, so very small numbers will not make it faster.
Why is my GIF so large?
GIF stores every frame as a 256-colour bitmap and has no inter-frame video compression. Cut the width, use fewer frames, or raise the dithering quality number — a 480 px GIF is usually a good compromise for chat and social posts.
How long a video can I use?
Keep it to a few seconds. The tool caps the number of sampled frames, but the whole video has to be decoded in the browser, so long clips are slow and produce enormous files.
Is my video uploaded?
No. Frames are grabbed from a local <video> element and encoded by a Web Worker in your own browser.
