A PNG sequence is already an animation in parts: each image represents one frame, but the files still need an order, a canvas, and a display time before they can play as one GIF.
Quick answer: Select between 2 and 50 PNG files in playback order, choose the GIF dimensions and frame duration, decide whether every frame should fit or fill the canvas, then generate and download the animation.
Prepare the PNG files as a real frame sequence
Use images that represent consecutive moments, such as exported animation frames, a UI walkthrough, or successive drawing states. A group of unrelated photos is better handled as a slideshow because viewers expect a frame sequence to show continuous change.
Keep the source dimensions and visual alignment consistent when possible. If the subject moves because one PNG has different margins, the final GIF will appear to jump even when the file order is correct.
- Choose 2 to 50 PNG files in the order they should play.
- Read the numbered preview and confirm the sequence before generating.
- Reselect the files if the preview order does not match the intended motion.
Set one canvas for every frame
The converter places every PNG on the same output canvas. You can set a width from 32 to 1600 pixels and a height from 32 to 1200 pixels, so choose dimensions close to the final placement instead of carrying unnecessary pixels into every frame.
Fit entire image keeps the whole PNG visible and may add space around it. Fill and crop covers the canvas but can remove content near an edge. Check the preview sequence for titles, sprites, or interface controls that move outside the safe area.
Choose a frame duration the motion can support
One duration is applied to every selected PNG, from 20 to 5000 milliseconds per frame. Short delays suit smooth motion, while longer delays work for diagrams or steps that need to be read.
If one frame needs a special pause, create the GIF with a useful base duration and open the result in the frame-by-frame editor afterward. That keeps the sequence workflow simple while still allowing a title card or final state to remain visible longer.
Check color, background, and loop continuity
The maker draws each PNG over the background color selected in the workspace. Transparent areas are therefore shown against that chosen color in this workflow, so set it to match the page, message, or document where the GIF will appear.
GIF uses an indexed color palette, so gradients and soft transparency can look different from the original PNG files. Watch the downloaded GIF from the last frame back to the first, then reduce dimensions or compress it only after the order and timing are correct.
Use the image maker for an ordered PNG frame sequence; use the existing photo guide when the source files are a slideshow rather than consecutive animation frames.
