Free Gif Maker

Free Gif Maker is a simple-to-use software application that enables you to put together GIF animations from images with other file types. It offers support for BMP, JPEG, TIFF and PNG, among other formats.

Clear-cut interface and options

Wrapped up in a user-friendly interface made from a large window with a neatly organized structure, the tool invites you to add as many images as you want to the task list and prepare them for processing.
However, you should keep in mind that it's not possible to make a multiple file selection in the file browser. Instead, you must import one item at a time.

Arrange the images and generate GIF animations

You can check out the name and format of each frame, set the delay time (in seconds), indicate the photo size (100px, 125px, 300px, 400px wide or custom), arrange the files in any order in the list, remove any one of them if you change your mind, as well as play the animation in the main app window before exporting it to file. This can be done by simply pointing out the output file name and saving directory.

Evaluation and conclusion

Unsurprisingly, the software utility had minimal impact on computer performance during our tests, since it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. It generated GIF animations swiftly, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages.
On the other hand, the program doesn't come equipped with richer options, such as transitions. Nevertheless, it gets the job done, offering a straightforward method for creating basic GIF animations from images with popular file extensions. It can be handled even by inexperienced users.
