Can frames have different display times?

Yes. Every frame has its own duration. Apply to All Frames is available when the whole animation should use one timing value.

What does Ping-Pong do?

It plays the ordered frames forward and then backward, avoiding a direct jump from the last frame to the first during each cycle.

How are images with different dimensions fitted?

Contain keeps each full image and may show the selected background around it. Cover fills the canvas and may crop outer areas. Canvas dimensions can be automatic or custom.

How does the Colors setting affect the GIF?

GIF frames use a limited palette. More colors generally preserve richer detail, while fewer colors can reduce file size but may introduce banding.

Frequently asked questions

About GIF Maker

GIF Maker turns a sequence of ordinary images into a timed animation rather than treating the files as a slideshow preset. Frame order and duration remain individually editable, and reverse or ping-pong playback can create seamless back-and-forth motion from a short set of images.

Canvas controls solve mixed-size inputs by choosing whether each frame is fully contained or cropped to cover. Loop behavior, background transparency and palette size complete the output configuration. Previewing and encoding occur locally before the finished GIF is offered for download.
