Online GIF Maker

Not just a converter — a real editor. Add text, crop the frame, retime the motion, apply filters, and export a clean animated GIF or WebP at up to 2K.

Free to use — no download, no plugin, no account required.

Editing controls

Draggable text

Type your caption and drag it anywhere on the frame. Choose from a large font library and control size, colour and opacity. Text is baked into the animation, so it survives being re-shared anywhere.

Crop

Cut straight to the part of the frame that matters. Cropping is lossless for both GIF and WebP — removing the edges never softens what is left behind.

Speed

Slow a moment down or speed it up. Retiming changes the pacing without throwing away frames, so the motion stays smooth instead of stuttering.

Frame rate

Trade smoothness against file size directly. Raise the frame rate for fluid motion, or lower it to keep a long clip small enough to post anywhere.

Filters

Apply colour and stylistic effects to the whole animation before you export, so you do not need to touch a separate editor first.

Resolution

Export small and light for chat, or all the way up to 2K when the animation needs to hold up on a full-size screen.

Built for quality, not just speed

A GIF is limited to 256 colours per frame, which is why so many of them look washed out. The difference between a good GIF and a bad one is almost entirely down to how those 256 colours are chosen — and most online makers do not choose at all, they reuse one fixed palette for every clip.

Every animation made here gets a palette derived from its own frames, generated through a full FFmpeg pipeline. Gradients stay smooth, dark scenes keep their shadow detail, and motion stays clean at higher frame rates. If you would rather skip the 256-colour limit entirely, export WebP instead and keep full colour at a fraction of the file size.

Frequently asked questions

Is the GIF maker free to use?

Yes. You can create GIFs and WebP animations without paying or registering. Paid plans exist for longer clips, 2K resolution and watermark-free exports, but the editor itself is free.

Can I add text to my GIF?

Yes. You can place text anywhere on the frame by dragging it, choose from a large font library, and control size, colour and opacity. The text is rendered into the animation itself, so it survives re-uploading anywhere.

Can I crop or resize the animation?

Yes. You can crop to any region of the frame and choose the output width. Cropping is lossless for both GIF and WebP, so trimming the frame does not degrade the remaining image.

Can I change the speed or frame rate?

Yes. Speed and frame rate are independent controls. Raising the frame rate makes motion smoother at the cost of file size; changing speed retimes the clip without dropping detail.

What is the maximum resolution?

Free exports go up to 600px wide. Subscribers can export up to 2K, which is high enough to stay sharp on large displays rather than looking soft the way most web GIFs do.

Where are my GIFs saved?

Every creation can be downloaded straight to your device. If you have an account you can also save them to a profile, organise them with tags, and share them with a link.
