GIF Maker – Free Online Tool
Free online GIF Maker tool to create animated GIFs from images. Combine multiple images into an animated GIF with customizable duration. All processing happens locally.
Example Output
A real .gif file (encoded via gif.js) — opens in any image viewer and plays automatically.
animation.gif (~150-400 KB, plays at 5 fps)
What is GIF Maker?
GIF Maker assembles a sequence of images into an animated GIF that plays in every browser and image viewer. Encoding runs in a Web Worker so the UI stays responsive even for long animations. Frames are letterboxed onto a uniform canvas so mixed sizes still produce a clean result.
Why use this tool?
- Your data stays private — all processing happens locally in the browser
- No telemetry, no tracking pixels, no third-party scripts
- Open-and-go: bookmark the page once and never look for an alternative
- Supports PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and SVG with consistent quality across formats
- Your original file is never uploaded — sensitive screenshots stay on your device
How to use
- Drop multiple images (up to 50 frames) in the order you want them
- Adjust frame delay (ms) — controls animation speed
- Set quality (1=best, 30=fastest)
- Click Create GIF — encoding runs in a Web Worker; download when finished
Examples
Tutorial step-through GIF
Screenshot each step of a UI flow, drop into the tool, set 800ms delay — viewers see each step long enough to read.
Slideshow GIF for email
Four product photos at 1500ms delay — animation embeds in email and auto-plays without video support.
Common use cases
- Tutorial and screencast GIFs
- Product showcase animations
- Memes and reaction images
- Email-safe animations (every client renders GIF)
Troubleshooting
- GIF file too large.
- Reduce dimensions (max-side capped automatically), drop quality to 20+, or remove frames. Run through GIF Compressor afterwards.
