Images to animated GIF

A GIF from a sequence of images, in the order you leave them.

Make an animated GIF from a series of images. The order is the order of the list, and since rows can be dragged, reordering frames is a matter of moving them.

Frames are fitted into a shared canvas, centred and undistorted, so mixing images of different sizes does not make the animation jump about.

How to use it

  1. Drag the images in the order you want.
  2. Set the frame duration and the width.
  3. Combine and download the GIF.

Frequently asked questions

Why is it so heavy?
Because GIF is a format from the 1980s: lossless, limited to 256 colours and with no compression between frames. Drop the width, trim the palette or use fewer frames.
What frame duration should I use?
100 ms is ten images per second, which looks smooth without blowing up the weight. Below 20 ms many browsers impose their own minimum anyway.
What does “play backwards at the end” do?
It appends the frames in reverse, so the animation goes out and back instead of jumping abruptly when it loops.
