Create an animated GIF from 2-50 JPG, PNG, or WebP images, or from a short video your browser can decode. It runs locally with no upload, signup, or watermark.
Tool details and FAQUse cases, limits, privacy, and related tools
Overview
Use this browser-local animated GIF maker and GIF generator for images to GIF, photo to GIF, and short video to GIF tasks. It can also handle an MP4 to GIF workflow when the browser decodes the source video. Arrange image frames or trim a clip, choose finite size, speed, color, dithering, and loop settings, then preview and download the result without uploading the source files.
Best for
- Making an animated GIF from a sequence of images or photos.
- Turning a short browser-decodable video clip into a GIF.
- Using a local video-to-GIF or MP4-to-GIF workflow when the browser supports the file's codec.
- Creating one watermark-free GIF without an account or file upload.
Not for
- Converting every video container or codec; actual codec support depends on the current browser.
- Long videos, lossless animation, unlimited source sizes, professional video editing, or guaranteed HD output.
How it works
- Choose Images or Video mode, then select 2-50 JPEG, PNG, or WebP images or one short local video.
- Order image frames and set frame delays, or choose a video start time, clip length up to 15 seconds, and 5, 10, or 15 FPS.
- Choose output width, fit, colors, dithering, and loop settings within the browser limits.
- Generate the preview, review the animation, and download the watermark-free GIF.
Limits and privacy
Images are limited to 20 MiB each, 80 MiB total, and 50 files; video is limited to 50 MiB. Image output is capped at 800 px per side, video output at 640 px wide, and video clips at 15 seconds or 150 encoded frames. MP4 and WebM commonly work, but actual codec support depends on the current browser; unsupported video fails locally and is never uploaded. GIF uses a limited color palette and is not lossless.
Common uses
- Combine product photos, illustrations, screenshots, or chart frames into an animated GIF.
- Make a short reaction, demo, or tutorial GIF from a video the browser can decode.
- Convert a compatible MP4 clip to GIF without sending the video to a server.
- Create a looping image animation with explicit frame timing and output size.
Useful facts
- Tiny Work Tools GIF Maker processes selected images, decoded video frames, and GIF encoding locally in the browser after the page loads.
- The downloaded GIF has no added watermark, and filenames, media bytes, local URLs, and source timestamps are not sent as analytics.
- GIF output has at most 256 palette colors per frame, so photos and gradients may show banding even with dithering.
FAQ
Can I make a GIF from images or photos?
Yes. Choose 2-50 JPEG, PNG, or WebP images, put them in the required order, adjust each frame delay, and generate one animated GIF.
Can I convert a video or MP4 to GIF?
You can convert a short video when the current browser can decode its actual video and audio container codecs. MP4 and WebM commonly work, but an .mp4 extension alone does not guarantee support.
Are my images or videos uploaded?
No. File selection, image decoding, supported video frame extraction, GIF encoding, preview, and download run locally in your browser after the page loads.
Does the GIF Maker add a watermark?
No. The generated GIF download has no added Tiny Work Tools watermark and does not require an account.
Why does a video fail to open?
Browser video support depends on the codecs inside the file, not only the filename extension. An unsupported file is rejected locally; the tool does not upload it or fall back to a server converter.
What are the GIF Maker limits?
Use up to 50 images at 20 MiB each and 80 MiB total, or one video up to 50 MiB. Video clips are capped at 15 seconds and 150 frames; output dimensions are also bounded to keep browser encoding responsive.
