How to make a heart locket GIF
The heart locket GIF maker works like the real thing: one photo goes in each heart, and the gold locket hangs from a chain. You choose how it moves.
- Add your first photoTap the Left side slot and pick a picture. Close-ups with the face near the middle fill a heart-shaped frame best.
- Add the second photoFill the Right side slot. Two people facing each other look sweet, but so does a person on one side and their dog on the other.
- Write an engraving (optional)The Engraving reads “Forever yours” until you change it. Swap in initials, a date or a nickname (up to 28 characters), or clear it. It's engraved in script, so a few words read better than a sentence.
- Choose the motionSwing rocks the locket gently on its chain. Open up animates the locket opening to reveal your photos. Still holds it in place so the photos stay the focus.

Locket GIF ideas worth sending
Couples are the obvious choice, but a locket gif maker gets funnier the more unexpected the second photo is. The format says “I keep you close to my heart”, so put in whatever you'd honestly keep in there:
- You and your partner for an anniversary, engraved with the date you met.
- Best friends: two selfies from the same trip, engraved “bffs”.
- You and your pet, or two photos of the pet because one wasn't enough.
- A fictional character you'd defend with your life, next to your own face.
- A snack: a slice of pizza on one side, you on the other, engraved “true love”.
- Your group chat's duo, like the two friends who always reply at 3 a.m.
Only have one photo? The my beloved GIF maker zooms into a single picture inside a pink heart, and the heart GIF maker puts one photo in a beating heart.
Sizing and sharing your locket GIF
Every locket GIF is a 400×400 square. Squares show up whole in a Discord message, an iMessage thread or a family group chat, with nothing cropped off the top or sides.
On a phone, tap Share to send it to Messages, WhatsApp or Discord through your phone's share sheet. On a computer, use Download GIF and drag the file into the chat.
Because the locket is built in your browser, nothing is uploaded and no watermark covers your photos. With personal pictures, that means the only people who see them are the ones you send the GIF to.
