How to make a GIF from photos

An animated GIF is a short loop stitched together from still images. The Emaki Studio GIF maker builds one from your photos in the browser - no upload, no account. Here is the flow.

  1. 1. Open the GIF Maker and add photos Drop in the images you want to animate. They are encoded locally, so nothing is sent to a server.
  2. 2. Reorder the frames Drag the photos into the order you want them to play. The GIF loops from the first frame to the last and back to the start.
  3. 3. Pick a speed and size Set how long each frame is shown (the playback speed) and choose an output size. A live preview shows the loop as you adjust.
  4. 4. Export the animated GIF Download the finished GIF, encoded entirely in your browser, ready to share.

How many photos can I use in a GIF?
As many as you like - each photo becomes one frame of the loop. More frames make a longer animation and a larger file.
Can I control the speed?
Yes. You set how long each frame is shown, which controls how fast the GIF plays. A live preview reflects your choice.
Is it free and private?
The GIF is built in your browser with no upload and no account. Up to 5 frames is free; Pro lifts the frame limit and adds the large export size.
