Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats can I use?

You can upload JPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, and BMP image files. Each file can be up to 10MB in size.

How many images can I add?

You can add between 2 and 50 images to create your GIF. More images mean a longer animation and larger file size.

Why is my GIF file so large?

GIF file size depends on dimensions, number of frames, and image complexity. Try using a smaller width, fewer images, or the low quality setting to reduce file size.

Can I control how fast the GIF plays?

Yes! Use the Speed setting to choose from very fast (10 frames per second) to very slow (half a frame per second). Normal speed shows each image for about half a second.
