FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about the GIF Maker.

What does the GIF Maker do?

It combines two or more images into a single animated GIF, playing them in the order you added them with a delay you set between frames.

Is the GIF Maker free to use?

Yes. It's free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it.

Is my image safe when I use this tool?

Yes. Your images are combined into the GIF entirely on your own device — they're never uploaded to a server. This tool loads a small, well-known GIF-encoding library the first time you use it, but that's the only thing fetched over the network — your images never leave your browser.

How many images can I combine?

Any number, as long as it's two or more. Add them in the order you want them to play — the order you select or drop them in is the order used for the animation.

What does the delay per frame control?

It's how long each frame stays on screen before switching to the next, in milliseconds — a lower number plays faster, a higher number plays slower.

What's the difference between "Forever" and "Play once"?

"Forever" loops the animation continuously, which is standard for most animated GIFs. "Play once" runs through the frames a single time and then stops on the last frame.

Can I use the GIF Maker on my phone?

Yes. The page is fully responsive and works on mobile, tablet and desktop browsers alike.

Does the GIF Maker have any limitations?

All images are combined at a common size, scaled down to fit within 640px on the longer side so the finished GIF stays a reasonable download size — a very large number of frames will still take longer to encode since it all happens on your own device.
