Maybe you’re illustrating an important step in a tutorial. Or, maybe you want to entertain your audience, get some laughs, and boost your following. Either way, you’ll never have to worry about quality when you edit with Kapwing. Choose from high-resolution assets, upload large file sizes, auto-enhance video quality, and compress final creations—all while ensuring your GIFs look great everywhere they go.

Start a new project and upload videos or images to create a GIF. You can also start from scratch by using the stock footage in the Images and Videos tab.
Trim your video by moving the video playhead along the timeline and pressing "S" to split video. Add multiple images to make a GIF by loading them onto the timeline.
Once you're finished editing, click "Export project" and select "GIF" as the output file to download.
To improve the quality of your GIFs, try Kapwing’s Video Enhancer. This one-click tool adjusts brightness, saturation, opacity, and more to automatically improve the clarity and visual appeal of your GIF. You can manually tweak the settings as well. When creating new GIFs, try Kapwing’s stock library of images, videos, elements, and video effects to make your content more engaging. When exporting, you can also experiment with the compression level to achieve higher quality. Kapwing exports GIFs to custom URLs so you can review the quality online before downloading.
Make an animated GIF using Kapwing’s free GIF maker. Upload your own videos or photos and turn them into GIFs. Or, source content from our stock library of images, videos, and existing GIFs that offer you the perfect starting point for making your own creation. You can also try our AI image and video generation tools. Once you’ve got your base layer, use Kapwing to add animated text, stickers, and other fun effects.
Kapwing’s online video editor integrates with GIPHY, the most popular website for finding GIFs. This makes it easy to add GIFs to your videos or take an existing GIF and edit it to make it your own. You can also create your own GIFs for free with Kapwing. Try our AI image and video generation tools, stock library, and animated text to create a GIF in minutes.
Yes, you can speed up or slow down a GIF with Kapwing. Inside our video editing platform, simply change the speed of the video you’re editing (with options ranging from 0.5X to 4X speed). Then, export the video as a GIF that you can easily share with a unique URL or embed with embed code. A GIF sourced from our GIPHY integration can’t be sped up or slowed down, but you can alter the duration to change how many times it replays in your video.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
