How to use

Select PNG, JPEG or WebP frames in order. All frames must have identical dimensions.

Limits and behavior

Up to 20 frames and 16 million combined pixels. GIF reduces colors to 256 and alpha to one bit per frame; photographs may show quantization. Still PNG, JPEG and WebP only; 20 MB, 4 megapixels and 4,096 pixels per side. Processing stays on your device. Exports apply orientation and discard source metadata. PNG output preserves transparency unless the selected operation composites it.

Turn still images into an animated GIF

Combine frame images with a selected timing to create a GIF that can loop.

Can a GIF preserve true-color gradients like PNG?

GIF has a limited color palette and may reduce color fidelity compared with original images.
