Combine a series of images into one animated GIF. Set how long each frame stays on screen, the output width, whether it loops forever or plays once, and optionally a bounce mode that plays forward then backward. Images of different sizes are scaled to fit and padded with the colour you pick, and an adaptive palette keeps banding down. Handy for memes, step-by-step demos and product showcases. Everything runs locally and images are never uploaded.

## How to use

1. Drop in two or more images and drag them into frame order
2. Set the frame time, width and looping
3. Click Create GIF and download

## FAQ

### The GIF is too big — what can I do?

Reducing the width or the number of frames helps most. GIF is limited to 256 colours, so photographic content is inherently large.

### Can I turn a video into a GIF?

Yes — use Video to GIF in the video tools.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account and has no usage limits.
