GIF HTML - how to animate GIFs in an HTML document

When you create a web page, you usually need knowledge of HTML. To make it appealing and interesting, you have various stylistic tools at your disposal. For example, you can insert motion animations or videos. You can also include GIFs, but there are some points to consider.

How to combine HTML with GIFs

If you want to make a diagram or something similar on your website more appealing, it is a good idea to insert an animation or a GIF. Be aware that multiple individual graphics within a graphics file require more memory than a single image. In addition, web pages with too many GIFs can appear confusing. For this very reason, it is important to use them only in important places.

1. A GIF can be easily integrated into a web page and created via various tools and apps in a few steps.
2. However, they are difficult to change without having to change each individual image in the sequence.
3. In addition, a higher memory requirement for the intermediate images is necessary.
4. Alternativ zu einem GIF können Sie eine Animation mithilfe von Canvas, SMIL Animationen von SVG oder CSS Keyframe Animationen verwenden.
5. Beachten Sie zudem, dass in einem GIF nur maximal 256 freiwählbare Farben angezeigt werden.
6. Wenn das GIF auf Ihrer Webseite nicht animiert dargestellt wird, dann kann dies sowohl an den Browser-Einstellungen liegen als auch am GIF selbst.
7. GIFs werden über HTML ähnlich zu Bildern mit dem „<img>“-Tag eingebunden.
