JPG Images to Animated GIF
Create an animation from a sequence of at least two static JPG images. The input filter is set to JPG, while the working frame editor lets you reorder images and control their timing.

Build motion from photos
Use photos that share a similar subject position to make transitions easier to follow. Start with the intended first frame because its aspect ratio defines the output canvas. Differently shaped later photos are contained rather than stretched.
Arrange and time the frames
Choose 2–60 images with a combined size up to 50 MiB and twenty megapixels. Move frames earlier or later, remove unwanted ones and set delays in 10ms steps. Total animation duration is capped at ten seconds. Choose a width up to 640px and a loop setting, then create and preview the GIF.
Expect a limited-color animation
GIF has a limited palette and may show banding in gradients or photographic scenes. Each frame is processed sequentially and the longest output edge is at most 640px. A GIF can be larger than the source images combined. Selected images stay local; cancel safely or use fewer frames if memory is limited.
Common questions
Can I make a GIF from one image?
This animation workflow needs at least two frames. A single static image is not an animated sequence.
Can I use a video instead?
Yes. Switch GIF source to Short MP4 video for the separately bounded H.264 MP4 workflow.
