This online utility lets you convert a GIF animation into an animated polaroid. You can adjust the polaroid frame's width and height, choose a frame color, apply a grayscale effect, and tilt it to the left or right. You can also add a text label at the bottom of the polaroid using a custom font and style. Additionally, you can preview the animated polaroid in the GIF player before downloading it.

This is a browser-based program that lets you style a GIF animation to look like a classic polaroid photo. Polaroid is a legendary instant camera from the mid-20th century, famous for printing photos immediately onto paper with a white frame and a wide bottom margin for adding a caption. Over time, it became a symbol of nostalgia, simplicity, and "living" memories. A polaroid GIF is a modern digital interpretation of that style. Instead of a physical photo, it uses an animated or static image in GIF format, which is placed inside a signature polaroid-style frame. To create a polaroid GIF, simply upload your GIF file into the tool and use the available options to customize the polaroid design. You can set the dimensions of the polaroid content (this refers specifically to the animation area inside the polaroid frame). Then, define the thickness of the narrow borders that appear on the left, right, and top sides of the image, as well as the thickness of the bottom border, which is typically larger and used for writing text. This gives you full control over the size and shape of the polaroid, allowing you to make it rectangular or square. You can also choose the color of the outer border. The default is white, which matches the look of a real instant photo, but you are free to choose any other color. Additionally, you can apply a grayscale effect to the GIF, giving it a classic vintage look. For a playful aesthetic, you can rotate the polaroid frame at a chosen angle (a positive angle will rotate the polaroid counter-clockwise and a negative angle will rotate it clockwise). In a separate set of options, you can add a text message that appears at the bottom of the frame (such as a date, location, or quote), and you can fully customize it. In particular, you can specify the font color and size of the caption (in pixels), change its placement (aligned to the edges or centered), choose from a variety of popular fonts or use your own custom font by providing a URL to it (for example, from Google Fonts). Furthermore, you can adjust the caption's style to regular, bold, italic, or a combination of bold and italic. When everything is ready, you can enable the GIF playback option to see how the animation looks inside the new polaroid frame. The last block of options also prints the size and low level details of the output animated polaroid. Gifabulous!

In this example, we load a 24-frame sprite of the Elephant Slug from the Metal Slug 3 game and add a custom polaroid frame around it. The polaroid keeps the original GIF dimensions (170×112 pixels) but adds outer borders, making the output slightly larger (190×182 pixels). The bottom border is set wider than the side and top borders to make space for a caption, where we add the text "Elephant slug" in monospace font, centered in the middle. The polaroid frame color is set to white, the caption color is set to black, and the animation player is enabled so that we can see a smooth playback of the created polaroid. (Source: SNK.)
This example shows a cute animated GIF of a cat enjoying a face massage. We wrap the GIF in a soft lavender-blush polaroid-style frame, with 20-pixel side spacing and an 80-pixel bottom margin for the a custom text message. Here we write the text "Spa day for the cat" in Comic Sans MS font with bold style enabled, and colored in matching shade (#755b6d). We also rotate the GIF by 5 degrees to mimic a polaroid pinned to a wall. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we convert a static GIF image of a vintage bicycle into an old-school polaroid snapshot (also in GIF format). We enable the monochrome color option, which converts the entire image and frame to a classic black-and-white look. The polaroid is slightly tilted at a -10 degree angle, making it look like a physical photo. We also add the caption "Vintage ride" using a custom swash font loaded from Google Fonts.
