⚡ Quick Start

Add your images

Drop in, browse, or paste (Ctrl+V) 2–300 images — JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, or BMP, up to 25MB per file.

Arrange & edit your frames

Drag frames to reorder, set per-frame delay, and adjust quality, size, filters, or text overlay from the side panel tabs (Timing / Output / Effects / Text).

Preview, then export

Watch the live preview, then click Generate GIF — your animated GIF downloads instantly with a progress bar.

📥 Upload & Import

🖱️ Drag & Drop / Browse / Paste

Add images by dragging them onto the tool, clicking "Upload Images," or pasting directly with Ctrl+V.

🗂️ Multi-Format Support

Accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, and BMP files.

✅ Smart Validation

2–300 images per project, 25MB per-file limit, with a clear warning if a file is skipped.

⚙️ Automatic Optimization

Large images are auto-downscaled before processing, keeping things fast even on high-resolution photos.

🎞️ Frame Management

↔️ Drag-to-Reorder

Rearrange the animation sequence by dragging any frame card to a new position.

🗑️ Multi-Select & Bulk Delete

Select multiple frames with checkboxes and remove them all at once.

⏱️ Per-Frame Delay

Set a custom display duration (20ms–5000ms) for each individual frame.

🚀 Global Speed Presets

Apply a delay to every frame at once — Very Fast, Fast, Normal, Slow, or Very Slow.

↩️ Reverse

Flip the entire frame order with a single click.

🏓 Ping-Pong

Auto-mirrors the sequence forward-then-backward (1-2-3-2-1) for a seamless loop.

🔀 Shuffle

Randomizes frame order for creative or testing purposes.

🧹 Remove Duplicates

Automatically detects and removes visually identical frames to reduce file size.

💡 Tip: Every structural change — reorder, delete, reverse, shuffle, dedupe — can be undone or redone, including with Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y.

🎨 Visual Editing

🔄 Rotate & Flip

Rotate the entire animation 90° at a time, or flip it horizontally/vertically.

🌈 Filters

Grayscale, Sepia, or Invert presets, or fine-tune Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Blur individually.

🎨 Background Color

Fill transparent areas with white, black, or a custom color — or keep them transparent.

✏️ Text Overlay

Add a caption on top of every frame — control position (top/center/bottom), font size, color, and opacity.

⚙️ Output Settings

🏆 Quality Presets

Low, Medium, High, or Ultra — balancing color depth and compression automatically.

📐 Dimension Presets

Original, Square, Landscape, Portrait, or a fully custom width/height.

🖼️ Resize Modes

Fit images using Contain, Cover, or Stretch behavior.

🔁 Loop Control

Loop infinitely, play once, or repeat a custom number of times.

▶️ Preview & Export

Live Playback Preview: watch an accurate real-time preview of the final animation before exporting — complete with Play/Pause, Restart, a progress bar, frame counter, and adjustable playback speed (0.5x–2x).

Real GIF Encoding: generates an authentic, fully-encoded animated GIF (not a static image), with a live progress bar and the ability to cancel mid-render.

Export Summary: before exporting, view total frame count, output resolution, animation duration, and estimated file size.

ZIP Export: download every individual frame as a ZIP archive in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format instead of a GIF.

Custom Filename: name your download before exporting.

🔒 Trust & Privacy

100% Client-Side Processing: no images, frames, or generated GIFs are ever uploaded to a server — everything is created and rendered directly in your browser. Your images stay on your device the entire time.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a GIF?

Upload 2–300 images, arrange and edit your frames, then click Generate GIF. Your animated file downloads automatically.

What is the maximum number of images?

You can add up to 300 images per project, with a minimum of 2 and a 25MB limit per file.

Does this tool upload my files anywhere?

Why is my GIF file large?

File size depends mainly on frame count, dimensions, and quality setting. Try a lower quality preset, fewer/smaller frames, or the "Remove duplicate frames" tool.

Yes — use a global speed preset for all frames, or set a custom delay (20ms–5000ms) per individual frame.

Can I reorder my images?

Yes, simply drag any frame card to a new position in the grid.

Is it free?

Yes, the tool is completely free with no signup required.

Is my data private?

Yes — since everything runs client-side, your images never leave your device.

🆕 Coming soon: an interactive crop/zoom/pan editor, image watermarking, frame transition effects, WebP/APNG animation export, and auto-saved recent projects.
