Creating GIFs from images - these are the options you have

A GIF is actually an image in a specific format. The so-called Graphics Interchange Format compresses the images, which means that they require less storage space. In addition, it is possible to save a series of images in a GIF file, creating an animation.

How to create a GIF from images

If you want to create and send a funny animation, it is a good idea to save it as a GIF. Keep in mind that when you create a GIF from images, color information may be lost if you use more than 256 colors. To create the animation, you will also need a suitable tool. If this is to be done only once, a suitable website can help.

1. Go to a suitable GIF maker website via your browser.
2. In Windows, enter "Explorer" at the bottom left and open the file manager.
3. Navigate now to the folder where all images for the GIF are stored. Select them and drag them into the designated field on the web page.
4. Alternatively, select the "Select Images" button and open the files over it.
5. After that, you can specify the time until the image should be changed. In addition, it is possible to adjust the width and height in pixels. Optionally, you can keep the original size.
6. Have you made all the settings, click on the "Create Gif" button. Now you can download the GIF and share it via other platforms.
