Image to GIF Creator Tutorial
The **Image to GIF** tool allows you to create animated GIFs directly from a series of static images (JPG, PNG) right in your browser. It is client-side, secure, and supports reordering, delay adjustment, and resizing.
1. Upload Your Images
Begin by selecting the frames you want to include in your animation.
How to Add Images:
- Drag and Drop: Simply drag your images into the dashed drop area.
- Browse: Click the "Browse" button to select multiple files from your device.
- Supported Formats: You can upload JPG and PNG files.
Once uploaded, your images will appear as thumbnails below the upload box.
2. Customize & Reorder
Arrange your frames and tweak the settings to get the perfect animation.
Configuration Options:
- Reorder Frames: Drag and drop the thumbnails to change the sequence of the animation.
- Delay (ms): Set the time each frame is visible (e.g., 300ms). Lower numbers make the GIF faster.
- Output Width: Define the width of your final GIF (height is calculated automatically).
- Quality: Choose between speed and quality (10 is a good balance).
- Loop: Set the GIF to loop forever, once, or not at all.
3. Create & Download
Generate your GIF and save it to your computer.
Final Steps:
- Click the **"Create GIF"** button to start processing.
- A progress bar will show the rendering status.
- Once finished, a preview will appear. Click **"Download GIF"** to save your animation.
Note: This tool uses Web Workers for performance. Please ensure you are running it from a local server (http://localhost) if testing locally.
Why use Image to GIF?
Animated GIFs are perfect for social media, memes, and simple tutorials. Unlike video files, they play automatically and loop on almost all platforms. This tool gives you full control over speed and size without uploading your private photos to a remote server.
