Why use a browser-based GIF maker?

🔒 Private by design

Unlike cloud converters, your images are processed with JavaScript on your own device. Nothing is uploaded, stored or shared — perfect for personal photos.

⚡ Fast, no waiting in queues

No upload and download round-trips. Your GIF is encoded locally in a background thread, so even large photo sets finish quickly.

💸 Free, no watermark

No accounts, no paywalls, no watermarks on your GIFs. Create as many animations as you want.

Frequently asked questions

Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Your photos never leave your device, which makes this one of the most private GIF makers available.
Is this GIF maker really free?
Yes, completely free with no watermarks, no signup and no limits on how many GIFs you can create. The site is supported by ads.
What image formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, BMP and HEIC/HEIF (the format iPhones use). HEIC photos are converted automatically right in your browser. You can mix formats freely — every photo becomes one frame of the GIF.
How do I make the GIF file smaller?
Reduce the output width, choose a lower quality (fewer palette colors), or use fewer photos. Width has the biggest impact on file size.
What is boomerang direction?
Boomerang plays your photos forward and then backward in a loop (1-2-3-2-1), like the Instagram Boomerang effect. Reverse simply plays them backward.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The GIF maker works in any modern browser on desktop, tablet or mobile — no app installation needed.
