How to make a GIF

  1. Add 2 or more images — they'll become the animation frames.
  2. Reorder frames using the arrows on each one.
  3. Set the frame delay and output width.
  4. Select Create GIF and download the result.

How this GIF maker works

Each frame is resized onto a shared canvas, a color palette is built across all frames, and the animation is encoded directly in your browser using the standard GIF89a format with LZW compression — the same format every browser and app can already play.

A note on color quality

GIF supports at most 256 colors per file. When your images use more than 256 distinct colors, they're automatically reduced to a 256-color palette, which works well for simple graphics and screenshots but can show visible banding on complex photographic frames.

Common use cases

  • Turn a burst of photos into a looping animation
  • Create a simple animated reaction GIF
  • Combine step-by-step screenshots into one animated image

Frequently asked questions

Is this GIF maker free?

Yes. It is completely free, with no signup and no watermark.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. The GIF is built entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to Inqita or stored.

How many frames can I use?

Up to 40 images, with a combined size limit of 30 MB.

Why does my GIF look a bit banded or blocky in color?

GIF files can only use 256 colors at once. Photographic frames with many colors are reduced to fit that limit, which can cause visible banding — simple graphics and screenshots are less affected.

Does the GIF loop automatically?

Yes. Created GIFs loop continuously, which is the standard behavior for animated GIFs.
