About the Clockwise Spin animation
Your picture rotates clockwise around its center, staying flat and face-on the whole time, and completes exactly one turn per loop so it never jumps. It suits round things: logos, wheels, coins, records, badges and loading-style spinners, and works well as a small Discord or Slack emote. Use a square or circular image if you want the corners to stay inside the frame.
Good for: Loading spinners, Round logo spins, Discord emotes
How to make a Clockwise Spin GIF
- Upload an image above (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP), or start with the sample image that is already loaded.
- The Clockwise Spin animation is selected for you. Adjust the size, speed and total frames, and add filters if you want them.
- Click Download Gif. The GIF is made in your browser and saved to your device.
Best Clockwise Spin settings
- Frames: 36 or more. Flat rotation shows stepping sooner than 3D spins do.
Works best on: circular subjects: badges, coins, wheels, seals. Centered art spins in place.
Watch out: An off-center subject orbits instead of spinning. Crop to center it first (Crop a GIF can fix an existing GIF).
Clockwise Spin GIF questions
- How do I make a flat spinning GIF?
- Upload the image, keep Clockwise Spin selected, and click Download Gif. The picture rotates clockwise around its center, staying flat, and completes exactly one turn per loop so it never jumps. Use 36 frames or more; flat rotation shows stepping sooner than 3D spins do.
- Why does my image orbit instead of spinning in place?
- The subject is off-center. Crop it to the middle first (Crop a GIF can fix an existing GIF); centered art spins in place.
- Can I use it as a loading spinner or Discord emote?
- Yes. Round subjects such as badges, coins, wheels and seals work best. Tick Transparent, keep Size small, and compress with Optimize GIF if a platform has a size limit.

This decides how "fast" your GIF will move. Less speed = less frames per second & more speed = more frames per second.
