Images to GIF

Turn a set of photos or pictures into an animated GIF. Put the pictures in order, choose how long each one shows and how many times the animation plays, preview it, and download the GIF.

How to make a GIF from pictures

Choose the pictures, or drop them onto the page. Each one becomes a frame.
Put the frames in order with the Move up and Move down buttons, and remove any you do not want.
Choose how long each frame shows, and whether the animation repeats forever or plays a set number of times. Tick Set a different time for each frame to hold some frames longer.
Check the size, then select Make GIF. The animation plays below, and Download GIF saves it.

Change anything and make the GIF again as often as you like; your pictures are never changed.

What a GIF can hold

256 colours a frame. Photos are reduced to their best 256 colours, with optional dithering for smooth gradients. Drawings with few colours keep them exactly.
On or off transparency. A pixel is either fully see-through or solid, so soft edges become one or the other.
Timing in hundredths of a second. Browsers show anything shorter than 0.02 seconds more slowly, so that is the shortest time offered.
Size. A GIF can have up to 100 frames here, up to 2,000 pixels on a side and 50 million pixels across all frames, so that a phone does not run out of memory.

Private by design

Your pictures are read and turned into a GIF inside your browser, one frame at a time. They are not uploaded to a Doodleden server, and nothing about them is stored.
