Tips for the best results
For very large videos (>500MB), use a desktop tool like HandBrake - browser-based tools work great up to ~200MB but slow down beyond that.

Which image formats can I use to build the GIF?
You can drop in JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP and even existing GIF frames. PNG works best when you need transparency or sharp edges, while JPG is better for photographs. All images are normalised to the same dimensions automatically, so you do not have to resize them yourself. If your sources are mixed sizes, the tool letterboxes the smaller ones or scales them up. For a clean result, prepare every image at the same resolution before uploading.
How many images can I combine into one GIF?
There is no enforced cap, but practical performance starts to drop after about 100 frames because the GIF encoder has to keep every frame in memory. For slideshow style GIFs, 5 to 30 images is usually enough. For animation style GIFs that need fluid motion, aim for 12 to 24 images per second of playback. If you hit memory issues, reduce the dimensions of each image or split the project into two shorter GIFs and play them in sequence.
Are my images uploaded anywhere when I create the GIF?
No. The whole assembly process runs inside your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your photos are never sent to a server, which keeps private screenshots, draft designs and personal photos safe on your device. Because everything is local, you can also work offline once the page is loaded. The only limit is your own machine, so very large batches may slow down older laptops or phones during the encoding step.
How do frame delay and loop count work?
Frame delay is the time each image stays on screen before the next one appears, measured in milliseconds. A delay of 100 ms means 10 frames per second, while 500 ms gives a slow slideshow feel. Loop count controls how many times the animation repeats. Set it to 0 for an infinite loop, which is what most chat apps and social platforms expect. A finite number like 3 plays the animation a few times and then freezes on the last frame.
Can I set a different delay for individual frames?
Yes. After uploading, each thumbnail in the timeline has its own delay field you can edit. This is handy when you want to hold a title card longer than the action frames, or pause briefly on a punchline image at the end. If you do not change anything, every frame uses the global delay you set at the top. Reordering frames is done by dragging the thumbnails, so you can fine tune the sequence without re-uploading the images.
Why does my finished GIF look grainy or have colour banding?
GIF supports only 256 colours per frame, so smooth gradients and photographic skies often turn into visible bands. The encoder uses dithering to soften the effect, but the result is rarely as clean as the source images. For graphics with flat colours, logos and pixel art the format is ideal. For photo slideshows you may prefer to export as an MP4 or WebM instead, since both keep millions of colours and produce much smaller files at higher visual quality.
