UlvixorAnimated GIF Maker
Upload several images and combine them into an animated GIF, reordering them however you like and choosing how long each frame lasts. Everything happens in your browser with the gifenc library, without uploading your photos to any server.
How it works
- Select two or more images from your device using the file picker.
- Reorder the frames with the move-before/after arrows, or remove any you don't want to include.
- Adjust each frame's duration with the slider (in milliseconds).
- When creating the GIF, every image is fit to the first one's size (with white padding if the proportions don't match) and quantized to a 256-color palette.
- Download the resulting animated GIF.
Use cases
- Create an animated GIF from a sequence of photos from an event or trip.
- Put together an animated 'before and after' comparison from two images.
- Generate a product GIF showing different angles or variants.
- Turn screenshots of consecutive steps into a simple instructional GIF.
Common mistakes
- Uploading images with very different aspect ratios and expecting them to be auto-cropped.Every image is fit to the first one's size while keeping its full proportions (no cropping), padding the leftover space with white. If you need every frame to fill the canvas exactly, crop them to the same size first with the Image Cropper.
- Choosing a very short frame duration expecting smooth, video-like animation.A GIF with few frames and a very short duration looks choppy, not smooth; a genuinely fluid animation needs far more frames than this kind of tool is meant to handle. Use 300ms or more for slideshow-style presentations.
- Expecting the same color quality as the original photos (JPEG or PNG).The GIF format is limited to 256 colors by design; smooth gradients in photos can show some banding. That's a limitation of the GIF format itself, not a bug in the tool.
Frequently asked questions
No. The entire process, from reading the images to encoding the GIF, happens in your browser with the gifenc library. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
You can add as many as you need, though very large files or a very high number of images can make the process slower, depending on your device's performance.
A GIF requires every frame to share the same dimensions. The tool uses the first image's size as the reference and fits the rest within that frame without distorting them.
Yes, animated GIFs generated with this tool loop indefinitely by default in any viewer or browser.
Alternatives
Programs like Photoshop or AI-powered online tools build more sophisticated GIFs from video. This tool is handy for the simple case of combining a few photos into an animated GIF, right in your browser, with your images never uploaded to any server.
