Heart Locket GIF Maker
Make a heart locket that opens to reveal a photo on the left and a short message or second photo on the right. Choose a frame color and optional sparkles, then generate the GIF.
Set up the two sides of your locket
Use JPG, PNG or WebP photos up to 20 MB each. The left photo is required; the right side can contain text or another photo.
Text on the right
Your message, up to 20 characters. The starting text is my beloved.
Photo on the right
A second photo, required when Photo is selected. Both pictures appear when the locket opens.
Gold, Silver, Rose Gold or Vintage
Changes the border and matching text color. The closed heart stays red.
Sparkles
Turns the decorative sparkle effect on or off.
| Choice | What appears in the animation |
|---|---|
| Text on the right | Your message, up to 20 characters. The starting text is my beloved. |
| Photo on the right | A second photo, required when Photo is selected. Both pictures appear when the locket opens. |
| Gold, Silver, Rose Gold or Vintage | Changes the border and matching text color. The closed heart stays red. |

How to make a heart locket GIF
Choose the pictures or message
Select the left photo to upload it immediately. If you choose a second photo on the right, it uploads independently after selection.
Pick the frame and sparkles
Choose one of the four frame colors and set Sparkles as needed. Text color follows the frame choice; there is no separate font or color selector.
Create, download and review
Click Create Heart Locket GIF to process the uploaded photos. Check both pictures and the message throughout the downloaded loop.
Prepare photos for the heart-shaped opening
Pictures are automatically cropped to fill the template and clipped to a heart. The square selection preview is not the final heart crop.
Keep faces away from the edges
Place the important subject near the center and leave space around it. There is no crop-position control here. Prepare another crop in an editor if part of a face is cut off; convert HEIC photos with HEIC to JPG first.
Keep the message short
Text may split across two lines or be narrowed to fit. A short name or phrase is easier to read than a long unbroken string. Check the generated lettering rather than treating the input box as a live animation preview.
GIF uses a limited color palette, so gradients and photo detail can change. Download completed files promptly; uploads and outputs follow the service's cleanup process.
Choose the animation for your idea
Use the locket template for a photo reveal, a short greeting or a heart locket meme.
A photo and a greeting
Keep Text selected on the right, and replace the starting message with your own brief wording.
A sequence of several pictures
Use the GIF Maker if you need to arrange a series of images. This locket has two fixed panels and an opening-and-closing motion.
The file size depends on your pictures and settings. Check the destination's GIF and size requirements before sharing.
Heart locket GIF questions
An empty message uses my beloved as the fallback. Enter your own text, or select Photo and add a second picture if you do not want a message.
The first frame is the closed locket. A viewer that displays only a still preview may show that frame without the photos inside. Check whether the destination plays the downloaded GIF.
