Product GIF Maker
Show several angles, colors or sizes of one product in a single looping GIF. Drop your photos, keep them in order, and get a square, white-padded loop that fits product grids, email blocks and social feeds. Your photos are used exactly as supplied — nothing is redrawn — so colors, labels and packaging stay accurate.

How it works
How to make a product GIF
- 11
Drop 2–10 product photos
Use the shots you already have: front, side, detail, each colorway. Photos with the same background and framing produce the smoothest loop. Drag to reorder; the first frame is what viewers see before the animation starts, so lead with the hero shot.

Set pace and canvas
The default is 0.8 s per photo, a square canvas and a white border for odd-shaped images, which suits most listing grids. Switch to Fill for edge-to-edge crops, or choose 4:3 and 16:9 for banners.

Export and check the size
Download the GIF, then confirm it fits the destination’s current limits; email tools and marketplaces set their own size rules, and some do not accept animated images at all. The free compressor can shrink it; the result panel shows the exact size.
Good to know
Where product GIFs work — and where they don’t
Marketing emails
A short loop that cycles through colorways or shows the product in use gets attention in an inbox. Keep it small: resize to the width your template actually displays and compress to a few hundred KiB. Some mail clients show only the first frame, so make that frame complete on its own.
Shop pages and social posts
Use the GIF in a description, a blog post or a social update. Main product-image slots on large marketplaces usually require a static JPEG or PNG; check the platform’s current image policy before uploading an animated file there.
Keep the product truthful
This tool never changes pixels inside your photos; it only places them on a canvas and plays them in sequence. That makes it safe for color-accurate products, printed packaging and labels. If you want AI-generated motion on a single photo, use Image to GIF (AI) instead — and review the result carefully, because generated frames can alter details.
Add a price or label
Captions such as “New color” or a launch date can be burned in afterwards with Add Text to GIF. For complex overlays, prepare the text in your image editor on each photo before combining them here.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How many photos should a product GIF have?
Three to six is typical: enough to show the variations, short enough to stay small. Each extra photo adds a full frame, so file size grows roughly in proportion.
Can I use this for Shopify, Etsy or Amazon listings?
You can embed the GIF where the platform allows animated images, such as descriptions, blogs and emails. Main gallery slots often require static files; this tool cannot override a platform’s rules, so check their current requirements.
Will it remove or change my product’s background?
No. Backgrounds and everything else in your photos stay as they are. If you need a uniform background, prepare the photos in your editor first; the Fit mode only adds padding of the color you choose.
What size should the GIF be?
Match the width your page or email template actually displays. Larger canvases make larger files, so export at the display size rather than the camera’s resolution.
