GIF collage maker

Free GIF collage maker: put two GIFs side by side or stack them vertically—auto-sync loops, animated GIF collage creator, preview and download in your.

What is a GIF collage maker?

A GIF collage maker combines two animated GIFs into one file that plays both at the same time—side by side or stacked vertically. It is not the same as /gif-combiner, which plays clips back to back. Upload GIF A and GIF B, pick a layout, and the tool syncs frame counts by looping the shorter animation. Preview and download client-side.

GIF collage features

Combine two animated GIFs in one layout.
  • Side-by-side layout

    Join two GIFs horizontally for reaction memes or comparisons.

  • Vertical stack

    Place one GIF above the other in a single animation.

  • Auto-sync loops

    Shorter GIF loops to match the longer clip’s frame count.

  • Dual upload

    Separate slots for left/top (A) and right/bottom (B).

  • Live preview

    See the collage before download.

  • GIF download

    Save as gif-collage-maker.gif.

Tips for GIF collages

Get cleaner side-by-side or stacked GIFs.
  • 01

    Match heights for horizontal

    Similar-sized GIFs align better side by side—resize first if needed.

  • 02

    Match widths for vertical

    Stacked GIFs center when widths differ; similar widths look neater.

  • 03

    Shorter loops repeat

    A 10-frame GIF beside a 30-frame GIF loops three times automatically.

  • 04

    Trim first

    Use /shorten-gif to cut intros before collaging.

  • 05

    Sequential join elsewhere

    For A-then-B playback, use /gif-combiner instead.

  • 06

    Still image merges

    For PNG side-by-side stills, use /merge-images.

Technical details

How client-side GIF collage works.
Dual decode
gifuct-js decompresses both GIFs with full frame patches.
Compositing
Each output frame blends A and B on a shared transparent canvas.
Frame sync
Output frame count equals the longer GIF; shorter GIF index wraps with modulo.
Delay
Per output frame uses the max delay of the two source frames at that step.
GIF encode
gifenc writes the combined animation with loop metadata.
Limits
15 MB per GIF; memory scales with frame count and canvas size.
