What is the GIF maker?

Bundle several images into a looping animated GIF, or cut a chosen clip from a video and turn it into a GIF. Reading the files and encoding the GIF all happen inside your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server.

Making a GIF from images

Add several images, then reorder them in the list by dragging or with the up/down buttons. Set the time per image (ms), width, repeat and background color, and the preview above plays the result right away. Images of different sizes are centered using the aspect ratio of the first image, and leftover space and transparent areas are filled with the background color.

Making a GIF from video

Add a video to get a player, then pick the clip with the start and end sliders. A clip can be up to 15 seconds; a higher frame rate (5-15 fps) is smoother but larger. Frames are read one by one, so long or large clips can take tens of seconds — progress is shown on screen and you can cancel at any time.

Note: Only formats your browser can play will open. MP4 (H.264) and WebM are recommended; iPhone HEVC MOV files may not open in Chrome on Windows.
Keeping the file small

A GIF grows almost in proportion to frame count x width x height, and photos or video with many colors grow more. Watch the estimated size above the button and reduce the width, lower the frame rate or shorten the clip. The estimate is approximate, so the real file may differ.

Privacy & safety

Your images and videos are never uploaded or stored. The GIF encoder is a file bundled with this site (MIT license) and no external service is called.

FAQ

Are my images or videos uploaded to a server?
No. Reading the files, extracting frames, encoding the GIF, previewing and downloading all happen in your browser only — nothing is sent or stored on a server.
My video will not open.
A video opens only if your browser can play its format (codec). Convert it to MP4 (H.264) or WebM and try again. HEVC MOV files shot on an iPhone may not open in Chrome on Windows.
How long a video can I turn into a GIF?
Up to a 15-second clip at a time. GIF files grow quickly with length, so there is a cap. For a longer video, pick the parts you want and make them separately.
How do I make the GIF smaller?
Reducing the width, lowering the frame rate and shortening the clip help the most, in that order. Adjust while watching the estimated size above the button; it is only an approximation.
What if my images have different sizes?
The aspect ratio of the first image sets the output size. Other images are centered at their own ratio and leftover space is filled with the background color.
It is taking a long time.
More frames and larger sizes take longer, and a video can take tens of seconds. Progress is shown on screen and you can stop at any time with the cancel button; if it is too slow, reduce the width or the clip length and try again.
