Your picture bobs slowly up and down in one smooth motion, otherwise unchanged, so it looks like it is hovering or riding a gentle swell. The Floatiness slider sets how far it travels, from a barely-there hover to big swoops, and it suits stickers, product shots, mascots and emotes that need a bit of life; with a transparent background it floats over whatever sits behind it. Keep the value low for a subtle loop.

Good for: Hovering stickers, Floating product shots, Bobbing emotes

Example Float GIF — A Float GIF made from the sample image.

How to make a Float GIF

Upload an image above (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP), or start with the sample image that is already loaded.
The Float 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 Float settings

Floatiness: 100 to 300. A dreamy drift. The default 30 is a gentle hover; near 1,000 the image leaves the frame.
Frames: 45 or more. Floating is slow by nature and needs the runway.
Speed: 10 to 14 fps. Anything faster is bouncing, not floating.

Works best on: clouds, balloons, ghosts, and lo-fi art.

Watch out: High Floatiness with a tight crop drifts the subject out of view at the loop extremes.

Related animations

More waves, wobbles and distortion: Accordion, Blur, Vertical Wave, Heartbeat. Or something different: Infinite Side Hallway, Clockwise Spin. Or browse the example gallery.

Simply upload an image, pick an animation style, tweak the parameters, apply filters, and download a gif.

Upload Image

Select an image (jpeg, png, gif) to upload.

Animation

Choose any animation type from the drop-down menu. Play around!

Size

Change the size your downloaded GIF will be. If it's larger than the viewfinder, just hover your mouse! Larger gifs will take longer to make, be patient!

Speed

This decides how "fast" your GIF will move. Less speed = less frames per second & more speed = more frames per second. The GIF file format is limited to a maximum of 50fps, and does some rounding so your preview might not look exactly like the downloaded gif. For more info check out this 10 FPS GIF smoothness guide.

Frames

This can help make it look "smoother" (it can also add a lot to your file size). Play around with the slider, you can't permanently break it!

Filters

You can toggle from a selection of filters including, grayscale, pixelation, mirror, ghost trail, motion blur, trippy, invert colors and more!

Background

Upload a background image. For transparent background, click the "Transparent" box below (note: this will override any uploaded background image).

Download

Click the "Download Gif" button.

Note: Download will *not* work within the Instagram or Facebook App, we are looking for a work around. In the meantime you can just visit the website on your phone's browser app (chrome, safari) and download will work.

You can adjust the axis view on desktop by clicking and dragging your mouse on the animation. To zoom in, hover over the animation and use your scroll wheel.
