How to Make Animated GIF

By Aditya On February 1, 2009 Under Tech Tips

An animated .gif file comprises a number of images or frames to be displayed successively, each described by its own GCE (Graphic Control Extension), preceded by a header whose content by default applies to all the frames. After the header the data is stream-oriented instead of being at fixed indices, so the location of the start of a GCE depends on the length of preceding GCE(s). Within a GCE the LZE-coded image data is arranged in blocks each of up to 255 bytes; the size of block is declared by a byte that precedes it.

The definition that I gave was from wikipedia and was very technical. It is indeed very hard to follow the coding instructions of creating an animated GIF and make one.

However, MakeAGif.com has made this thing easy for image users like me and perhaps, many more.

You can upload 12 images of upto 1024 kb each. Then just press the “Create GIF” button and get your work done. The good thing is that it is easy to customize your GIF. You can set the height and width of your animated GIF, it’s Frame Length, loop animation, animation speed, etc.

Here is a working sample of an animated GIF created using MakeAGif.com -
