GIF Maker
New · Version 2.0

YOUR PHOTO BURSTS AS VIDEO.
READY FOR SOCIAL.

GIF Maker now exports your photo sequences as MP4 video (H.264) — the format Instagram, Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts expect. Far lighter than a GIF at equal quality, at full resolution, and your photos’ framing is kept exactly as shot.

🎬
Ready to post

Exports to MP4 H.264, the codec Instagram, TikTok and YouTube expect. The file uploads straight away — no conversion, no rework.

⏱️
Set your own length

A burst lasts under a second. Pick a number of loops or an exact length: the app repeats the animation up to the 3-second minimum Reels require.

GIF and video in one click

Export one, the other, or both at once. The GIF for your website and emails, the video for social media.

FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

How do I create an animated GIF from my photos?

Simply drag a folder of numbered photos (photo_001.jpg, photo_002.jpg…) into GIF Maker: the app automatically detects your sequences, shows a live preview, and exports your animated GIF in one click.

Is GIF Maker compatible with my computer?

GIF Maker runs on Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3…) with macOS 12 or later, and on Windows 10 and 11. Intel Macs are not supported.

Is GIF Maker free?

You can try GIF Maker for free, no sign-up required: 5 watermarked exports are included. The full licence costs €35 per year and unlocks unlimited watermark-free exports.

Which image formats are supported?

JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF and WEBP. Ideal for turning camera bursts from a DSLR or mirrorless into GIFs — perfect for wedding, portrait and event photographers.

Can I create several GIFs at once?

Yes. Batch export turns every sequence detected in a folder into animated GIFs in a single run — handy after a wedding with dozens of bursts.

Can I export my photos as an MP4 video?

Yes. Since version 2.0 the « Format » selector offers GIF, MP4, or both at once. The video is encoded in H.264, the format Instagram, Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts expect, at full resolution and with no cropping of your photos.

GIF or MP4 video: which one for Instagram?

To post on Instagram, Reels or TikTok, choose the MP4 video: it is the format the platforms expect and the file is far lighter than a GIF at equal quality. The GIF is still ideal for a website, an email or a signature, where it loops on its own.

How do I turn a photo burst into a video for social media?

Drop your folder of numbered photos into GIF Maker, pick the MP4 format, then set the length you want. A burst often lasts under a second: the app repeats the animation to reach the 3-second minimum Instagram Reels and TikTok require. Export, and the file is ready to post.
