Gif Maker earns its place for keeping the whole GIF pipeline—sourcing, captions, compression, and UI capture—inside Blender, with no external apps required.
Gif Maker turns Blender renders and existing media into looping GIFs directly inside Blender, so no external sites or editors are needed. It draws source material from render output, image folders, or video files and exports the result as an animated GIF.
The add-on reads image sequences in PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TIF, and WEBP formats, plus AVI and MVK video. Before exporting you can set a custom output name and folder, sync FPS, keep source files, choose loop or one-shot playback, and enable a reverse loop. Optional captions come with font, size, colour, and position controls, and PNG sequences carry full RGBA transparency. Compression tools in the Preferences panel optimise exported GIFs through dimension and palette or alpha trade-offs. A separate UI GIF capture records the Blender interface based on the timeline.
Required modules, Pillow and ImageIO, install from the Preferences panel, which also handles uninstalling them and checking for absolute paths. Gif Maker runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and supports Blender 3.6 through 5.0. Version 1.1.5 makes file paths use absolute paths reliably.
Gif Maker is best for blender users making looping GIFs from renders, image sequences, or video without leaving the application, including UI captures for tutorials.
Gif Maker is completely free to download and use.
Gif Maker supports Blender 3.6 through 5.0 and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It relies on two modules, Pillow and ImageIO, which you install from the add-on's Preferences panel; the same panel handles uninstalling them. The Preferences area also checks for absolute paths on startup. With those modules in place, the add-on can read image sequences and video and export animated GIFs across all three supported operating systems.
Gif Maker accepts image sequences in PNG, JPG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TIF, and WEBP, along with AVI and MVK video files. Source material can come from render output, image folders, or existing video, all converted into a single looping GIF. PNG sequences additionally carry full RGBA transparency into the exported GIF. Once a source is selected, you can adjust FPS, compression, looping, reverse loop, and optional captions before exporting.
Gif Maker installs its required modules, Pillow and ImageIO, from the add-on's Preferences panel. The same panel lets you uninstall those modules, and it runs an absolute-path check when Blender starts. After the modules are installed you pick a source, then tweak FPS, compression, looping, reverse, and any captions before exporting the GIF. The compression tools that optimise dimensions and palette or alpha trade-offs also live in the Preferences panel.
Gif Maker is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing on the developer's own page may differ and can change over time, so check there for current terms before relying on any specific arrangement. Functionally, the add-on exports GIFs from renders, images, or video inside Blender, with captions, RGBA transparency for PNG sequences, compression tools, reverse loops, and a UI capture based on the timeline.
