Shopify GIF Maker
Turn your Shopify products into scroll-stopping animated GIFs — free, in your browser, no app install.
Paste your store URL and StoreGIF pulls your most recent products straight from Shopify’s public catalog — photos, titles and prices included. Pick a product, choose a template, and download an animated GIF in about ten seconds. Nothing is installed to your store and no photos are uploaded to us.
Shopify merchants compete on marketing visuals, but most product photography stops at static images. An animated GIF gives those same photos motion — a slow zoom, a fade between angles, a pulsing sale badge — that stops the scroll in a crowded feed or inbox, without the cost or complexity of shooting video.
Because StoreGIF reads your public storefront catalog, there is nothing to re-export or re-upload. Your latest products are already there, priced and titled, ready to animate. That makes it quick to produce fresh creative for a launch, a flash sale, or a weekly email — no designer, no app permissions, no waiting.
And because everything renders in your browser with client-side technology, your product images never touch our servers. You get a downloadable, ready-to-post GIF while your store data stays yours.
How it works
- 1Paste your Shopify store URL
Enter your yourstore.com (or myshopify.com) address. StoreGIF reads your public product feed and shows your latest products as a pick-list.
- 2Pick a product & template
Choose a product, then a crossfade, slide, Ken Burns zoom, or sale-badge template. Name and price are filled in from your store automatically.
- 3Download & post
Generate the GIF right in your browser and download it — ready for email, Instagram, Facebook, or a product page.
Unlike Shopify apps, there’s nothing to install and no access to your admin. It reads only your public storefront catalog.
Add your product name, price and brand color. Templates keep every GIF consistent without a designer.
Square, landscape and portrait presets for social feeds, email, stories and ads — with a “smaller file” option for inboxes.
Tips for great Shopify product GIFs
- Lead with your best angle — the first frame is what shows in email clients that don’t animate, and it’s the thumbnail people notice first.
- Use 2–4 images per GIF; more frames mean a longer, heavier file with diminishing returns.
- Match the badge to your brand color so the product name and price feel native to your store.
- Running a promotion? Use the Sale badge template and set the price to make the offer unmissable.
- Keep backgrounds clean — flat, low-noise product shots compress into much smaller GIFs.
FAQ
Is this a Shopify app?
No — StoreGIF is a free web tool. It reads your store’s public products.json feed, so there’s nothing to install and it never touches your Shopify admin or customer data.
How does it get my products?
Shopify stores expose a public product feed. StoreGIF reads your most recent products (image, title, price) from it so you can pick one and build a GIF instantly.
Can I use my own photos instead?
Yes. On the maker, switch to “Upload” and drop in 2–6 product photos — they’re processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
Will using StoreGIF slow down my store?
No. It runs entirely in your browser and only reads your public catalog — it adds nothing to your storefront and has no effect on your store’s speed.
What if my store has hundreds of products?
StoreGIF shows your most recent products to pick from. To feature an older or specific item, open its product page and use Product URL, or upload its photos directly.
Does it cost anything?
The web tool is free. Free GIFs get a small StoreGIF watermark, which you can remove for free by entering your email.
