Convert PNG to GIF — Combine PNG Images Into One Animated Loop

Drop your PNG files into the studio, drag the frame thumbnails into order, set the frame rate, and export — the studio combines each PNG into one frame of a looping animated GIF, all assembled locally via WebAssembly. A single PNG produces a one-frame static GIF; multiple PNGs produce a multi-frame animation.

The key difference from a video converter is that you supply each frame yourself: the order and timing are entirely in your hands. If your source is a mix of image formats rather than pure PNGs, the image to GIF maker handles JPG, WebP, and HEIC alongside PNG in the same sequence. For the broader set of image-to-GIF tools, see the image-to-GIF toolkit.

The studio reads the alpha channel from each PNG on import, so transparent backgrounds, semi-transparent edges, and cutout logos all load with their transparency intact as the frame enters the sequence. GIF supports a single-color binary transparency per frame, so fully transparent pixels carry through while semi-transparent gradients are quantized to the nearest opaque or fully-transparent value.

This makes the tool well suited for logo animations, UI micro-interactions, and sprite-sheet sequences where crisp PNG assets need to animate over a transparent background. If you need the reverse — extracting PNG frames back out of an existing GIF — the GIF to PNG extractor does that in the same browser.

Any numbered PNG sequence works: screen recording frames exported as PNGs, hand-drawn animation cels, sprite frames from a game asset, icon transition states, or a simple before-and-after pair. The studio makes no assumptions about frame content — each PNG is treated as one complete frame in the GIF loop.

For smooth motion, export your PNG sequence from a design tool or screen recorder at the frame rate you want (12–24 fps is a common range), then import them in order and set the matching fps in the studio. For a slower paced slideshow — product reveals, step-by-step diagrams — two to six frames per second reads as deliberate and readable. After export, if the GIF is heavier than expected, run it through the GIF compressor to reduce the file size. Need the GIF maker for more editing options first? Open it from the studio.

This page and tool are focused on PNG-specific workflows — transparency-carrying screenshots, sprite sequences, crisp logos, and numbered PNG frame exports — where PNG is the natural source format and transparency behavior on import matters. The general image to GIF tool opens the same studio but is framed for mixed image types including JPG, WebP, and HEIC alongside PNG.

If all your source files are PNGs and you care about how transparency is handled frame-by-frame, you're in the right place. If your batch mixes PNGs with JPEGs from a camera roll or WebP exports, use image to GIF instead — it loads them all into the same sequence without pre-conversion.
