Create a custom GIF collage
Create a GIF collage by combining multiple GIFs on one canvas. Arrange GIFs side by side, stack them vertically, or layer them into a custom layout. Resize, crop, and reposition each GIF independently to control how your collage looks and moves.
Kapwing's online GIF collage maker lets you mix GIFs with photos, videos, text, and graphics to build reactions, comparisons, fan edits, memes, surreal art pieces, and looping social posts.
Everything stays editable in Kapwing, so you can adjust the crop, rotation, and colors of each GIF and refine your layout before exporting your finished collage as a GIF or MP4.

Combine GIFs, photos, and other media to show reactions, comparisons, moments, and ideas in one animated layout
Fandom Edits
Fan accounts and communities can combine scenes, performances, reactions, or character moments into one animated edit. Add captions, images, and graphics to turn individual GIFs into a themed collection.
Memes & Reactions
Meme creators can put multiple reactions side by side to compare responses, build a punchline, or capture different sides of the same moment. Add text to give each GIF its own context.
Social Content
Creators and social media managers can combine GIFs into animated recaps, announcements, or trend posts for Instagram, TikTok, X, and other platforms
Product Showcases
Brands and marketers can display several products, features, colors, or angles in one animated collage. Combine product GIFs with photos and text to highlight details without requiring multiple separate posts.
Event Recaps
Turn memorable moments from concerts, trips, parties, weddings, or team events into one moving collage. Mix GIFs and photos to capture more of an event in a single visual.
Moodboards
Designers, artists, and creative teams can build moving moodboards from GIFs, reference images, and visual inspiration. Arrange different styles, movements, and ideas together to communicate a creative direction.
Customize every element of your GIF collage
Add your own GIFs or find them in Kapwing, then customize your layout with templates, photos, videos, text, and more
Add GIFs from Kapwing's library
Already have the GIFs you want to use? Upload them directly to your project and start arranging your collage. If you need more options, search Kapwing’s built-in stock GIF library and click to add GIFs directly to your canvas without leaving the Studio.
Use uploaded and stock GIFs together in the same collage to find the right reactions, references, or animations as you create. This makes it easier to build out an idea without downloading every GIF separately before you start.
Speed up your collage with a template
Start from a blank canvas for full control over your layout, or use one of Kapwing’s collage templates to arrange your GIFs faster. Choose from side-by-side, grid, comparison, overlapping, and other layouts, then replace the existing media with your own GIFs.
Templates give you a starting structure without locking you into it. Resize or reposition individual GIFs, adjust the background and spacing, and add text or graphics to turn the initial layout into your own animated collage.
Mix GIFs with photos and videos
Combine GIFs with still images and video clips to create reaction posts, moodboards, recaps, comparisons, memes, and other mixed-media collages. Each piece of media can be arranged on the same canvas, so your final collage doesn't need to use a single format.
For projects focused primarily on still images, continue with Kapwing’s Photo Collage Maker. If you're combining multiple video clips, use the Video Collage Maker for a video-first workflow. You can also use the GIF Maker to create or edit individual GIFs before bringing them into your collage.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have answers to the most common questions that our users ask.
Is the GIF Collage Maker free?
Yes, Kapwing's GIF Collage Maker is free for all users. For access to the full range of GIF, image, and video editing tools, including AI-powered tools, upgrade to a Pro account.
Is there a watermark on exports?
If you use Kapwing on a Free account, then all exports — including the GIF Collage Maker — contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account, the watermark is completely removed from your creations.
How do I make a GIF collage?
Upload two or more GIFs to Kapwing’s online GIF collage maker, or search the built-in stock GIF library to find animations to use. Arrange your GIFs side by side, in a grid, or in a custom layout, then resize, crop, and reposition each element. When your collage is finished, export the project as a GIF or MP4.
What layouts can I use for GIF collages?
You can arrange GIFs side by side, stack them vertically, build a grid, overlap and layer GIFs, or create a custom freeform layout. Adjust the size, crop, position, and spacing of each GIF independently to fit your design. You can also start with a collage template and replace the existing media with your own GIFs, photos, or videos.
Can I find GIFs in Kapwing instead of uploading my own?
Yes, you can upload your own GIF files or use Kapwing’s built-in media search to find GIFs while creating your collage. You can also combine uploaded and stock GIFs in the same project, which is useful when you have some of the animations you need but want to find additional reactions or visuals without leaving the editor.
What's the difference between a GIF collage and a video collage?
A GIF collage combines multiple visual elements into an animation that can be exported as a GIF. It's useful for looping reactions, comparisons, memes, fan edits, and other short animated compositions. A video collage is better when video clips and audio are central to the project. Kapwing’s Video Collage Maker supports videos, images, GIFs, and music in the same project.
Can I add text, images, or videos to my GIF collage?
Yes, you can also upload images and videos to use in your GIF collage. You can use the in-studio Text tool to add titles, labels, captions, or meme text to your GIF collage and position the text around or over individual GIFs. If text animation itself is a major part of the design, Kapwing also has an Animated Text GIF Maker for adding moving text effects to GIFs.
Where can I share a GIF collage?
GIF collages work well for social media posts, memes, reaction posts, fandom edits, moodboards, product showcases, event recaps, blog content, and messages. Use multiple GIFs to show reactions side by side, compare moments, collect highlights, or add movement to a visual story. Create a GIF collage to share on Discord, Reddit, or Instagram.
How many GIFs can I put in a GIF collage?
You can add multiple GIFs to the same canvas and arrange them in a grid, side by side, layered, or in a custom layout. The right number depends on your canvas size and how much detail each GIF needs. For larger GIF collages, resize and crop individual animations or use a collage template to keep the layout organized.
Can I combine GIFs of different sizes and shapes in one collage?
Yes. GIFs don't need to have matching dimensions or aspect ratios before you add them to your collage. Resize, crop, and reposition each GIF independently to create a consistent grid or intentionally mix different shapes and sizes. You can also adjust the canvas to create a GIF collage suited to your intended platform or post.
