Hi im just wondering ive made a few things and i want them to b in Gif format im not completely sure on how to do it??

Could anyone give me some tips on how or what to use to make a gif?

thanks would be greatly appreciated.  

paint  

Use any program you used to make the gfx, make several different files, changing the image each time, then to make them into a gif just search free gif makers and try out some of the website (warning some are crap).  

If that seriously works, I'll be pissed >_>  

IT DOS  

I really wouldn't suggest using MS Paint. That is a crap program. Try using Gimp or Photoshop. Anyways making a gif is simple. Basically you have your starter image. Let's say a square:



Now you want this square to blink colors. Let's say from blue to red. Then you recolor the square red and save it as a new image like so:



Now you have your two images. Now you need a place to make them. For people who are begginers to making gifs you may want to start making gifs on an online site where it's easier. Later on you can move to making gifs on programs for the more advanced stuff. This site: http://www.myspacegens.com/handler.p...=animatedimage is perfect for making gifs. Now we're going to combine our two squares. You upload the blue square then the red square. Your result should be this:



Now there are many online sites that allow you to make gifs. This one is my personal favorite because it is easy and fast. Make sure if you use this site to click the option to keep original sizes. The site also allows you to customize the speed for each image so you can make one image stop for 20 seconds and the other images go 1 second. I'll give you my tutorial on how to do blinking eyes. This shows how to make motion animations.

I hope this helped.

Mspaint is not that bad. A lot time ago my Gimp crashed and I hadn't been able to re redownload it and I use mspaint since then.

MS paint lacks many tools and doesn't have layers. They need to update it.  

I believe it is possible to use layers in ms paint.
