How to Turn an Image into a GIF

Pick how many frames the loop should have and how fast they play. The model invents the motion between them.

  1. 01

    Upload your image

    Drop in a JPG, PNG, or WebP. One clear subject or scene animates best.

  2. 02

    Set frames and speed

    Choose 2–16 frames (default 9) and a frame duration of 20–2000ms in 10ms steps (default 200ms).

  3. 03

    Generate and download the GIF

    The model renders the animation and picks the canvas size itself — you just download the loop.

Image to GIF FAQ

Answers about frame counts, output format, costs, and how a still image becomes an animation.

  1. What does image-to-GIF do?

    It takes one static image and generates a short looping GIF — the model invents plausible motion for your subject or scene.

  2. How is this different from GIF maker?

    Image-to-GIF starts from your uploaded picture and animates it. GIF maker starts from a text prompt and invents the whole scene.

  3. How many frames can a GIF have?

    Between 2 and 16 (default 9), each shown for 20–2000ms in 10ms steps (default 200ms). More frames mean smoother, longer loops.

  4. Can I keep a transparent background?

    No — GIF output is flattened with no alpha channel. For transparency, export stills or pick a format that supports alpha.

  5. What format do I get back?

    A single .gif file. The model chooses the canvas size automatically, and GIF output does not support transparency.

  6. How long does a run take?

    About 11 seconds on the Flare tier and around 39 seconds on Sunburst (measured P50).

  7. What does one GIF cost?

    60 credits on the Flare tier, or 150 on Sunburst for higher fidelity. New accounts start with 330 free credits.

  8. Can I use the GIF commercially?

    Yes — GIFs you generate are yours to use, including in commercial and client work.

  9. GIF or video — which should I pick?

    Pick GIF for short loops that must play anywhere without a player — chats, comments, thumbnails. For longer or higher-fidelity motion, a video format holds up better.

  10. What happens to the image I upload?

    Your upload is stored only long enough for the model to process it, then deleted automatically within 24 hours. The result stays in your library, private to your account, until you delete it.
