1 Add your photos
2 Format & framing
Full photo (default): the photo is centered on a matching background. Fill the frame: it is center-cropped to cover the whole image. Everything else is automatic: pacing calibrated for a listings feed (1.5 s per photo, cross-fade, infinite loop) and compression under 4.5 MB.

On a classifieds site everything happens in a split second: buyers scroll through dozens of thumbnails and only stop on the ones that grab them. An animated image stands out instantly among still photos — and it shows several angles of your item in a single photo: front, back, details, labels, accessories…
That is exactly what this listing slideshow maker does: it merges your shots into an animated carousel, paced for the reading speed of a listings feed (2 to 3 photos seen in one screen pass). The result: more information conveyed, more trust, more replies.
How to create an animated slideshow online, for free
- Add your photos — drag and drop 3 to 6 photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP…). The order you add them becomes the slideshow order, and you can change it.
- Pick the format and framing — square (recommended), landscape or portrait; full photo on a matching background (your photo, blurred), or center-cropped to fill the frame: either way, never a white bar.
- Download — the animated image generates itself, automatically compressed to stay light. Then add it to your listing like any other photo.
No technical skills required: no editing software, no fiddly converter, no account. It is the simplest way to combine several photos into one image.
Works with your classifieds sites
The generated file is a standard image (.webp) that uploads like a regular photo on Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, Gumtree and most listing forms. It is automatically compressed under 4.5 MB, the weight limit most sites apply.
Worth checking on your own listing: each site processes images its own way. Some keep the animation, others re-encode photos and freeze it on the first frame. Run one test, and always put your best photo first in the slideshow — worst case, your listing simply shows your best shot, like a classic photo.
Animated GIF or animated WebP: which format?
GIF is the historic animated format, but it is heavy and limited to 256 colors — your photos lose a lot. Animated WebP is its modern successor: true colors, far better compression (often 3 to 5 times lighter at equal quality) and smooth playback in every modern browser. That is why this tool generates animated WebP rather than GIF: your photos stay sharp and the file stays light, which also keeps your listing fast to load.
Your photos stay with you
Photos of your home, your car or your personal belongings are nobody's business: here, they stay on your device — no account to create, nothing sent to any service. And the tool is free, with no watermark and no limits — it will stay that way.

Frequently asked questions
How do I combine several photos into one image for a listing?
Merge them into an animated slideshow: one WebP image that cycles through all your photos. Drop your photos into the tool above — it automatically generates the image to add to your listing.
Do classified sites accept animated images?
The file uploads like a regular photo. Whether the animation plays depends on the site: some keep it, others re-encode images and freeze it on the first frame. Test on one listing and put your best photo first.
Is the tool really free? Is there a watermark?
Completely free, no sign-up, no watermark, no usage limits.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
Never: your photos stay on your device. They are neither uploaded nor stored by the site.
What size and format should a listing photo be?
Most sites recommend images under a few megabytes. The tool automatically compresses your slideshow under 4.5 MB (quality adjusted, then dimensions reduced if truly needed) — nothing to configure.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, with Chrome, Edge, Brave or Opera (desktop and mobile). Safari and Firefox cannot yet create animated WebP — they display it perfectly though.
