Creating Videos from Image Sequences
This tool converts a sequence of images into a video. Upload multiple images in order, set the frame rate (1 to 60 fps), and the tool creates a video playing through your images. Perfect for time-lapses, slideshows, or animation.
Images are sorted alphabetically before processing. Name your files with sequential numbers (frame001.jpg, frame002.jpg) to ensure correct ordering.
Practical Applications
- Time-lapse creators who shot a sunset every minute and want to play it back at 30 fps.
- Animators who made frame-by-frame animation as individual images. They compile it into a playable video.
- Content creators who make a slideshow from screenshots or product photos for a presentation.
- GIF converters who convert a GIF animation into video format for platforms that don't support GIFs.
- Researchers who create videos from scientific imaging sequences for presentations or publications.
What to Know Before Using It
- Image order matters. Files are sorted alphabetically, so use consistent naming: img001, img002, img003 (not img1, img2, img10).
- Frame rate determines video duration. 30 images at 30 fps = 1 second. 300 images at 30 fps = 10 seconds.
- All images should ideally be the same size. Different sizes will be scaled to match the first image's dimensions.
- The output is WebM/VP9 format, which offers good compression. For MP4 output, you'd need conversion software.
- Large numbers of images take time to process. 100+ images might take several minutes depending on your device.
FAQ
- How many images can I upload?
- There's no hard limit, but practical constraints apply. Hundreds of images will take significant processing time.
- What format should images be?
- JPG and PNG work best. Other formats might work depending on browser support.
- How do I calculate video duration?
- Duration = number of images ÷ frame rate. 60 images at 30 fps = 2 seconds. At 1 fps = 60 seconds.
- What if my images are different sizes?
- All images are scaled to match the first image's dimensions. For best results, use consistently sized images.
- Can I add audio to the video?
- No—this tool creates video from images only. For adding audio, use video editing software.
- Can I adjust the order after uploading?
- No—order is determined by alphabetical sorting. Rename files before uploading if you need different ordering.
