GIF has no real compression, so 1080p+ with a lot of frames makes a genuinely large file and can take a while to encode.
Combining separate photos into one GIF works best when they share roughly the same aspect ratio — each image is cropped to fill the same frame (like a photo grid), so a very tall image mixed in with wide ones will lose its edges rather than getting letterboxed. Fewer, larger images also make for a much smaller file than a long sequence at a high width — GIF has no real compression to speak of, so file size scales directly with frame count and pixel dimensions. If you're after a video clip turned into a GIF instead of a batch of separate photos, the Video to GIF Maker is the one for that.
Yes, completely free with no sign-up and no watermark by default.
There's no hard limit, but keep in mind every image becomes one frame — a long sequence, especially at a large width, can produce a very big file and take a while to encode.
Yes — drag and drop the thumbnails to change the order they'll appear in, or use the arrow buttons on each thumbnail.
No. Everything happens locally in your browser — your images are never sent to a server.
This tool turns a batch of separate still images into a GIF; the Video to GIF Maker turns a single video clip into one instead.
Turn on "Keep transparency" and any transparent part of your source images will show through in the GIF too. There's one catch worth knowing: GIF transparency is all-or-nothing per pixel — a pixel is either fully see-through or fully opaque, with none of the soft blending PNG allows — so a soft or anti-aliased edge in your original image may pick up a faint fringe of color rather than fading out cleanly. The checkerboard pattern in the preview shows exactly what will end up transparent before you export.
It crops away empty or transparent margins around your content before building the GIF — handy for sprite sheets or animation frames exported on a much bigger canvas than the subject actually needs, where that empty space would otherwise just get scaled down along with everything else and leave your subject tiny. If every image you've added is exactly the same size (like frames of a walk cycle or other animation), the same crop rectangle is used for all of them so nothing drifts or jitters between frames; if your images are different sizes, each one is trimmed on its own instead.
We've noticed an ad blocker is active. Cwtch.es relies on ads to stay free, so GIFs created while a blocker is active will include a small Cwtch.es watermark in the corner. Disable your ad blocker for this site (or add it to your allow-list) and recheck to create one without it.
