A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is an indexed-color image that can hold multiple frames played in sequence. GIF supports a maximum 256-color palette per frame, so colorful images get dithered. For modern web, WebP or APNG (animated PNG) offer smaller files and full color.
GIFs remain the easiest way to show motion where video feels like overkill. Developers stitch together a short before/after or step-by-step sequence of screenshots to demonstrate a UI change in a GitHub README or pull request, since a looping GIF plays inline and needs no video player. Marketers and social media managers turn a short burst of product photos into a looping animation for a listing or post without touching video editing software. It's also a common way to build a reaction GIF or short meme loop from a handful of frames pulled from a photo or screen recording. Teachers and support teams use frame sequences to illustrate a multi-step process — clicking through a settings menu, for example — as a lightweight alternative to recording and hosting a full screen-capture video. Because GIF file size grows quickly with more frames, larger dimensions, or high frame rates, it helps to keep the frame count modest and resize images down first; a shorter loop with a sensible frame delay (150–300ms is typical for readable motion) usually looks smoother than cramming in every available frame.
There's no hard cap — add as many frames as you need; more frames and larger images increase processing time and file size.
Yes — set the frame delay in milliseconds to control playback speed, and choose the loop count, including infinite looping.
JPG, PNG, and WEBP images can all be used as frames in the sequence.
