How to Turn Images Into a GIF

Upload Your Images

Add the pictures you want to use from your device, Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Photos, or an external link.

Build Your GIF Animation

Place the images on the timeline and arrange them in the right order. Adjust the timing, playback speed, and frame rate, then add any text, transitions, or effects you want.

Export or Share Your GIF

Preview the animation and make sure your GIF plays correctly. Export the project as a GIF and download it to your device.

Turn Photos Into GIFs With Text and Effects

Put Every Frame in the Right Order

Drag your images along the timeline to decide how the animation unfolds. Reorder the frames at any time without uploading them again or restarting the project. If you need a video instead, you can turn the image sequence into a video.

Adjust the Speed and Frame Rate

Control how quickly the GIF moves by changing the duration of individual images and adjusting the frames per second. Slow down important moments or use a higher speed for a quicker animation.

Turn an Image Into a GIF With AI

Start with a still image and use AI to generate a short video with movement. Add the generated clip to your timeline, make any final edits, then export it as a GIF.

Add Text, Transitions, and Effects

Add captions, labels, or a punchline and choose when each piece of text appears. Use transitions and visual effects to create an image-to-GIF animation with a more finished look. You can also add captions to a GIF.

More Than a Basic Image to GIF Converter

Lines

Edit Images Before Using Them

Crop, resize, rotate, or reposition each picture inside the project. Adjust its colors, apply a filter, or remove parts you do not want to include before adding it to the animation.

Lines

Animate Images With Keyframes

Use keyframes to make pictures, text, and other elements move across the frame. Add custom zooms, pans, rotations, and changes in size instead of switching abruptly between static images.

Lines

Combine Pictures and Video

Add short video clips alongside your images and edit everything on the same timeline. If your project begins with recorded footage, you can instead turn the video into a GIF.

Lines

Layer Images and Other Elements

Place images on separate timeline tracks to create overlays, split-screen layouts, or picture-in-picture effects. Add shapes, stickers, logos, and other visual elements while keeping every layer editable.

Still have questions?
We got you!

How do you turn a picture into a GIF?

Upload your picture to Flixier and place it on the timeline. Add more images if you want an animated sequence, then adjust their order, duration, and playback speed. Add text or effects if needed, preview the result, and export the finished project as a GIF.

How many images can I combine into one GIF?

You can combine as many images as you need in the same Flixier project. Add them to the timeline, arrange them in any order, and control the duration of each one. The size of your project will also depend on the storage available with your plan.

Can I set how fast the GIF plays?

Yes, you can adjust how long each individual picture remains visible and change the frame rate to control the overall playback speed. This lets you slow down important frames, move quickly through a longer sequence, or give every image the same amount of time on screen.

Can I make a GIF from photos on my phone?

Yes, just open Flixier in your browser and upload photos from your device. Arrange them on the timeline, adjust the timing, and add text or effects. Once the animation is ready, export it as a GIF and save the finished file to your device.

Is the image to GIF converter free?

Yes, you can use Flixier’s image-to-GIF converter for free in your browser without signing up. Upload your pictures, arrange and customize the animation, then export the finished GIF to your device.
