Image to GIF

How to Use Image to GIF

1. Add images — click "Add images" and pick several files, or drag-and-drop images anywhere onto the page. Each image becomes one frame, in the order you add them.
2. Set the frame delay — milliseconds each frame is shown. The label updates live in seconds (for example 200 ms = 0.20s/frame).
3. Choose max width — every frame is downscaled to fit within this width (aspect ratio preserved, never upscaled), keeping the GIF small.
4. Pick color count and dither — fewer colors mean a smaller file; turn on dithering to smooth gradients when colors are limited.
5. Download GIF — the button enables once you have two or more frames. A preview animation plays on the canvas while you work.

Choosing a frame delay

For a quick slideshow, 100–200 ms per frame feels brisk. Use 300–500 ms when each photo should register, and 800 ms+ for a caption-style display. GIF stores delay in centiseconds (1/100 s), so 200 ms is written as 20 — the tool handles this for you.

Features

• Combine many photos into one looping animated GIF, one frame per image.
• Adjustable per-frame delay (20–2000 ms) with a live seconds readout.
• Max-width downscale keeps the GIF small; aspect ratio is always preserved.
• Per-frame color quantization (32–256 colors) via median-cut, with optional Floyd–Steinberg dithering.
• Loop-forever toggle and a self-contained GIF89a encoder with LZW compression — no external libraries.
• Live on-canvas preview that plays frames at the chosen delay.
• All processing runs locally in your browser. Your data is not uploaded to any server.
