How to Make a Wobble GIF from a Still Image
Turn one still image into a soft, bouncy GIF. Follow along with the blue citrus drink image and make its purple jelly wobble.
Open Purupuru Maker
Purupuru Maker lets you choose exactly which part of a still image should move. You paint the moving area, test the motion, then record a short GIF—all in your browser. Your image stays on your device while you work.
Choose an image
Pick the blue citrus drink
On the opening screen, choose the blue drink thumbnail below Choose a file. It is the image used in this guide. You can also start with your own PNG, JPEG, or WebP image—the steps stay the same.
Paint the part that should move
Paint the purple jelly, not the whole picture
Stay in Paint mode and brush over the purple jelly in the glass. Keep the paint inside the object and leave a little room around its edges. This gives the jelly room to wobble while the drink, glass, and background remain steady.
Use a smaller brush for edges. If you paint too much, choose Erase, or use Undo to remove the last stroke.
Preview the wobble
Choose a gentle movement first
Open Wobble mode, then start with Soft wobble. It is a good match for a round jelly because the movement is slow and loose. Try the other presets after that, or use the fine-tuning controls when you want more bounce or a quicker shake.
Record and save
Export a short GIF
Switch to Record and save, choose GIF from the format menu, and pick a short duration. Start with two or three seconds for a reaction image or social post. When recording finishes, download the file from the result window.
Quick fixes
- Nothing moves
- Return to Paint mode and make sure the jelly has a painted area.
- Too much moves
- Erase the spillover around the object, especially near the glass and background.
- The GIF is too large
- Choose a shorter recording time or try WebM when GIF compatibility is not required.
