Image to GIF FAQ

How many images can I use?

There is no hard limit, but we recommend 2–20 images for best results. More images will produce a larger GIF file and may take longer to process depending on your device.

What image formats are accepted?

Our tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP images. All images are automatically resized to match dimensions for smooth animation.

Can I control the animation speed?

Yes! You can set the delay between frames from 50ms (20 fps, rapid animation) to 2000ms (0.5 fps, slow slideshow). The default is 200ms which works well for most use cases.

Why is my GIF file large?

GIF files can be large because the format stores each frame individually. To reduce size: use fewer images, lower the quality setting, or use smaller source images. For video-like content, consider MP4 instead.

Can I reorder the frames?

Yes, you can drag and drop images to rearrange the frame order before generating your GIF. You can also remove individual frames.

Does the GIF loop forever?

Yes, all generated GIFs loop infinitely by default. This is the standard behavior expected by messaging apps and social media platforms.
