How to Create GIF from PNG Images

  1. Select your mode: Choose "Animated GIF" to combine multiple PNGs into an animation, or "Static GIF" for single image conversion.
  2. Upload PNG files: Drag and drop your PNG images or click to browse. For animations, add multiple frames in sequence.
  3. Arrange frames: Drag frames to reorder them. Use the preview to check your animation before converting.
  4. Adjust settings: Set frame delay (speed), loop options, and output size. Choose quality level based on your needs.
  5. Create and download: Click "Create GIF" and download your finished animation. Need to edit it later? Use our GIF Speed Changer.
Pro tip: For smoother animations, use consistent image sizes. Resize all your PNGs first with our Image Resizer tool.

PNG vs GIF Format

PNG

Lossless compression with millions of colors and alpha transparency. Best for static images, screenshots, and graphics with transparency. Use our PNG Compressor to optimize file sizes.

GIF

Limited to 256 colors but supports animation and simple transparency. Universal browser support makes it ideal for memes, reactions, and simple animations. For better quality, try animated WebP.

Frame Delay Guide

20-50ms

Very fast animation (20-50 FPS). Ideal for smooth motion like spinning objects or rapid transitions. May result in larger file sizes.

100-200ms

Standard animation speed (5-10 FPS). Perfect for most GIFs including slideshows, reactions, and general animations. Good balance of smoothness and file size.

500-1000ms

Slow transitions (1-2 FPS). Best for image slideshows, step-by-step tutorials, or dramatic reveals where each frame needs viewing time.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can combine up to 50 PNG images into a single animated GIF. For best results, keep your GIF under 100 frames to maintain reasonable file sizes. If you need to work with video footage, try our Video to GIF converter instead.

GIF supports single-color transparency (unlike PNG's alpha channel). Fully transparent areas will remain transparent, but semi-transparent pixels will be converted to either fully transparent or solid. For complex transparency, consider animated WebP or animated AVIF.

GIF is limited to 256 colors, which can cause banding in gradients or quality loss in photos. Try the "Best Quality" setting for more colors, or consider using WebP format for photos. For simple graphics and illustrations, GIF works great.

To reduce file size: use fewer frames, choose "Smallest File" quality, reduce dimensions with the resize option, or increase frame delay. After creating your GIF, you can also use our GIF Compressor for additional optimization.

Images don't need to be the same size, but for best results they should be. Different-sized images will be scaled to match the largest frame. Use our Image Resizer to standardize your PNGs before creating the animation.

Yes! Use our suite of GIF Tools to modify your animation. You can change the speed, crop frames, resize, add text, or extract individual frames for further editing.
