How can you make an animated GIF image?
Important things to know
Before following the steps involved in creating an animated image, it's important to keep the below things in mind.
1. The completed animated image must always be a .GIF image, .JPG or .JPEG images do not support animation.
2. An animated image is comprised of multiple images. Each of these images must be the same size.
3. The image should not exceed 256 colors.
4. Internet browsers can be set so animated images are not seen. If disabled the visitor would only see the starting frame. Keep that in mind.
