Create a GIF: questions & tips
Can I use a video, images, or an existing GIF?
Yes. Open one video or GIF, or select several still PNG, JPEG, or WebP images. Videos and GIFs become editable frames; an image sequence is fitted to the first image’s working canvas without stretching.
How do I control the order and pauses?
Drag thumbnails to reorder them. Select a single image, enter its duration in milliseconds, and choose Apply timing for a longer pause. This keeps the other images’ timing unchanged.
Which format should I choose?
- WebM
- Video with transparency for players and browsers that support it. Enable looping in your player.
- GIF
- Widely compatible and loops automatically; usually larger files.
- MP4
- Widely supported video. Transparent areas become black; looping is a player setting.
- APNG
- Full color with smooth transparency; often a larger file.
