How to Upload Pictures Then Create Animations

Animated images add extra personality to a website or user profile. An animated image can be created by combining a number of image files into a single file, bypassing the need for special software or embedding videos. Many tools exist on the Internet that will create animated images for you automatically if you provide the images themselves. Use an online animated image creator to upload and create images from your files.

Instructions

    • 1

      Create and save all the images you want to upload into an animation. For the best results, save all your images as the same width and height so no compression or stretching occurs. The format you save the images in doesn't matter as they will be combined and converted to .gif format automatically.

    • 2

      Open a Web browser and access an online animation creator such as Picasion.com, MakeAGif, Gifninja.com or Gickr (see Resources).

    • 3

      Upload each of the images you want to make your animation in order. Select the size of the image, the animation speed and any additional options (such as looping) from the settings next to the upload fields.

    • 4

      Click the button below the upload fields to proceed with the creation. It may say "Create," "Continue" or some variation.

    • 5

      View the preview of the image to see if it has turned out the way you want. Then save the image to your computer to upload elsewhere, or use one of the links provided below the created image to share it or embed it.
