1. Select JPG, PNG, or photos on your phone
Open Images to GIF on Android, iPhone, or HarmonyOS and select local images. System photo and file pickers differ, but the editing steps are the same: confirm sources, arrange them, set output options, and generate. JPG suits photo slideshows; PNG can contain screenshots, illustrations, or transparent areas.
2. Arrange the image sequence
Move images in the source list into the order you want viewers to see. For a three-step tutorial, use preparation, action, and result; for a before-and-after animation, put the original first. Check the actual source list rather than relying on album order. Use a collage if the pictures should appear together.
3. Set how long each frame stays visible
Frame duration is measured in milliseconds. A larger value slows the slideshow: at 500 milliseconds per image, three images take about 1.5 seconds per cycle. Leave enough time to read tutorial text and check movement when using drawn animation frames. Available values and fine timing controls are shown in the app.
4. Choose dimensions and a background
Check every image after setting the output width and height, especially when mixing portrait and landscape sources. Smaller dimensions can blur text; enlarging cannot recover missing detail. Choose a transparent background for PNGs that already contain transparent areas. This does not remove an existing white background from a photo or PNG.
5. Save and check the finished animation
Preview the preparation, action, and result sequence through a full cycle, then generate and save the GIF. Check order, reading time, and text in the destination app. Use GIF compression if the file is too large. Image assembly runs locally; some advanced settings require membership.
