GIF maker for images, videos, and trimmed clips

Create animated GIFs from an image sequence or a video directly in your browser. Arrange frames, choose framing, adjust speed, width, and colors, preview the result, and download it when it is ready.

You can also turn a long video into a GIF without opening another editor first: choose the video, set the start and end of the clip, and convert only the scene you need. GIF does not include audio; it turns the selected visual motion into a short, shareable animation.

Make GIFs from an image sequence

Every image you add becomes a frame. The queue order becomes the GIF order, so you can build frame-by-frame animation, a product presentation, a reaction, a meme, or a before-and-after. Use image files your browser can open; matching framing and proportions usually create the most consistent results.

Convert video to GIF and trim only the scene you need

Import a video and select the segment to use. Start and end controls mean you do not need to convert a whole video when only a few seconds matter. Then adjust frames per second: higher FPS makes motion smoother, while lower FPS makes a lighter file and often works well for reactions, short demos, and screen clips.

Control size, colors, and framing

GIF uses a limited color palette. Lower width, FPS, or color count reduces final size and speeds up creation. Choose “show whole image” to preserve every edge or “fill frame” for a uniform layout when cropped edges are acceptable. For detailed photos and video, a smaller width is often the best balance.

Use GIF when a still image is not enough

Animated GIFs can demonstrate an interface, show a quick step, highlight product movement, share a reaction, or publish a short sequence in chats, social media, and pages. Keep the original video for long animation, sound, or maximum quality. For short visual moments, GIF remains a practical format.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make a GIF from a long video?

Yes. Import the video and select the start and end of the clip you want to turn into a GIF. Trimming a short scene before conversion makes a smaller result that is easier to share.

Can I combine images and video in one GIF?

The queue accepts an image sequence or one video at a time. Add several images and order them for frame-by-frame animation. Use a video when you want to extract motion from a recording.

Which image and video formats work?

You can use formats your browser can open. PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF are common image choices; MP4 and WebM commonly work for video. Actual availability depends on the browser, codec, and device.

Why is my GIF large?

Size grows with video duration, frame count, width, and color variety. Reduce clip length, width, FPS, or palette size for a smaller file.

Does the GIF keep video audio?

No. GIF is a visual animation without audio. Share the original video or another video format when sound is important.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Creation runs in your device browser. Keep the tab open until the preview finishes and retain the originals if you want to change the sequence later.

Tip: start with a short scene, moderate width, and medium FPS for a good-looking GIF with balanced size. Change only what the result needs.

GUIDE

How to create a simple GIF

GIF Maker uses images as frames and creates the animation locally. The shown order is the exported order.

Step by step

  1. 1Add several images for a frame animation or a short video to extract frames automatically.
  2. 2Reorder the media queue; the shown order is the exported sequence.
  3. 3For video, adjust segment and FPS. For images, adjust time per image.
  4. 4Set width, palette, and framing, create the preview, and download the GIF.

For better results

Use images with matching framing and ratio. GIF works especially well for illustrations, memes, captures, and simple motion.

Size and color

GIF accepts up to 256 colors per frame and has no audio. Detailed photos and many images increase file size; use a smaller width when sharing.

Creation is local: images are not uploaded. Keep originals if you want to edit the sequence later.
