Animated GIF Maker

Choose up to 40 PNG, JPG or WebP files at once. They appear in the order you selected them; use Move earlier and Remove to change the sequence. Set the width, delay and number of plays, then press Convert — the GIF previews on the page and downloads as northlane-animation.gif.

Yes — choose a single MP4 or WebM file of up to 10 seconds. The tool grabs one frame every frame-delay interval (at least 0.1 s) and stops at 40 frames. At the default 200 ms delay a 10-second clip gives 40 frames, so only the first 8 seconds are used; at 250 ms you get 40 frames covering the whole clip.

Delay is the time each frame stays on screen: 100 ms is 10 frames per second, 200 ms is 5. GIF files store delays in hundredths of a second, so a 125 ms delay is saved as 130 ms. The tool accepts 20 to 10,000 ms.

Reduce the width first — a frame half as wide has a quarter of the pixels. Then use fewer frames (a longer delay for video), pick a smaller palette such as 64 or 32 colors, and try the square crop. Flat graphics and screenshots compress far better than camera footage.

A GIF frame can hold at most 256 colors. The tool builds a palette for each frame and maps every pixel to its nearest palette color without dithering, so smooth gradients and skin tones can show bands. 256 colors gives the best quality; lower settings trade quality for size.

No. Each frame is drawn on a white background first, so transparent PNG or WebP areas become white. Flatten your images onto the background color you want before making the GIF.

It sets how many times the GIF plays: 1 plays it once, 3 plays it three times, and 0 loops it forever, which is what most people want. You can choose up to 100; the tool writes the matching repeat value into the GIF for you. Some apps ignore the setting and always loop.

The first image sets the GIF's shape: at a 480 px width, a 4:3 first photo gives a 480 × 360 px GIF. Every later frame is stretched to fill that same size, so images with a different aspect ratio look squashed. Tick Center crop square, or crop your images to the same shape first.

Save or trim the recording to 10 seconds or less as MP4 or WebM, then choose it here. Screen recordings of apps and text are ideal for GIFs: flat colors compress well, and a width of 640–800 px usually keeps text readable while the file stays small.

GIF plays almost everywhere, including email and older chat apps, which is its main advantage. It's also far less efficient: the same clip as an MP4 or animated WebP is usually several times smaller and keeps full color. Use a GIF where video isn't accepted or autoplay matters, and video elsewhere.

Up to 40 frames, 50 MB of input in total, a width of 16–1,920 px and an output height of up to 1,080 px. Height follows the first frame's aspect ratio unless you tick Center crop square.

No. Frames are decoded, resized and encoded into a GIF inside your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server or stored, and there's no watermark. Large inputs can be slow on older devices; press Cancel to stop.
