Drop in anything.
Get back a loop.
The AI reads it, animates it pixel by pixel, and hands you a looping pixel-art GIF - ready to paste anywhere.

sheet grid
4x4 = 16 frames. bigger grids draw longer, more detailed loops - and take a little longer to generate.
off = transparent character cut-out. on = the whole scene stays, tweet links turn it on by themselves.
How it works
1. Drop in anything
Paste a tweet, upload a photo, share a link, or type a thought. 8gifs reads the content - text, images, video frames, even audio - and understands what it is.
2. AI animates it
The AI draws a pixel-art sprite sheet: the same scene across a grid of frames, each one a step of the animation. Characters, motion, and style come from your source.
3. Get a looping GIF
The browser slices the sheet, keys out the background, and exports a looping pixel-art GIF or MP4. Download it, share it, or remix it with new directions.
Frequently asked questions
What can I turn into a GIF?
Anything: tweets, photos, video clips, website screenshots, text descriptions, YouTube videos, memes, or even a sentence. The AI reads the content and recreates it as a pixel-art animation.
How does the pixel-art style work?
Each GIF is a sprite sheet: a grid of frames that the browser slices into individual animation frames. The result is a clean, retro pixel-art style that loops forever.
Can I edit the GIF after it's made?
Yes. Every GIF page has a full editor where you can remove frames, adjust timing, key out backgrounds, add text overlays, change colors, and export as GIF or MP4.
Is it free?
Yes, with a daily free tier. Every generation creates a shareable page with the full editor. No sign-up required to start.
