Free GIF Maker - Create, Edit, Optimize & Convert GIFs Online

GIFs are simultaneously the worst image format ever invented and the most beloved file on the internet. They're 256 colors, awkwardly compressed, and almost always larger than the equivalent MP4 - but they autoplay everywhere, work in every chat app, and have become the default vocabulary of online reactions. OptiPix's free GIF Maker handles every part of the GIF workflow - creation, editing, optimization, and conversion - entirely in your browser.

What makes OptiPix's GIF Maker different

Most online GIF tools are siloed: one site for video-to-GIF, another for image-to-GIF, a third for "GIF compressor" that strips half your frames. OptiPix puts the whole pipeline in one place - and runs everything locally so your videos and images never get uploaded to a stranger's server.

Key features

How to use it

1. Open the GIF Maker.

2. Pick a mode: drop a short video, a folder of frame images, or an existing GIF to edit.

3. Adjust FPS, dimensions, and palette size - the estimated output size updates live.

4. Hit Export GIF (or Export MP4 if you want the smaller version) and download.

Who is it for

For a smaller, modern alternative to GIFs, our Video Compressor can shrink the source MP4 first. And if your animation is just an icon or logo loop, consider vectorizing it with our Image to SVG tool - animated SVGs scale to any size and are a fraction of the file size of a GIF.
