Common ways to use Image to GIF

Some legacy chat apps prefer GIF over PNG.

Email inline images

GIF has near-100% support in every email reader ever.

Animation frame prep

Convert individual photos to GIF then combine with a GIF animator.

GIFs on Neocities or personal blogs recreate a 1998 aesthetic.

Image to GIF — frequently asked questions

Is the GIF animated?

No — single-frame only. For animations, use an animation tool with multiple source images.

How many colours does GIF support?

256 colours (8-bit). Photo-realistic images may look posterised.

Does GIF support transparency?

Yes, but only 1-bit (fully transparent or fully opaque). PNG has smoother alpha.

When should I use GIF over PNG?

Almost never for modern use. Choose GIF only if a legacy platform demands it.

Can I chain multiple GIFs into one animation?

Not in this tool. Use a dedicated GIF animator.

Pro tips for Image to GIF

For photos, stay with JPG or WEBP — GIF makes them look chunky.
For sharp icons, PNG or SVG is superior.
Use GIF only where explicitly required by a target system.
