It’s getting easy to create animated gifs using free web tools, and today we’ll introduce you to three websites that make it a lot easier for anyone, regardless of their level of digital literacy to create animations of this kind.
– brush.ninja: Allows us to create frames by drawing directly on an app made with HTML and javascript. It is not intended to import photos from your computer and make them move, but to create art by hand, so it will take some talent to draw to generate the desired animation. At the bottom, we will see the frames, with the possibility of duplicating them at any time. The top capture belongs to this application.
– gifgear.com: In this case we do have to import photos from our PC, allowing the animation to be generated through the sequence of all the uploaded images. This type of tool is the most common when we are looking to “create animated gifs” on Google: apps that allow us to upload photos and specify how long each one should remain on the screen.
– slate: to create animated text gifs. We only have to indicate the phrase so that a gif is generated with the words passing one by one. We can also customize colours and backgrounds.
It is important to note that the large image editors that many of us already have in our computer already include tools for creating this type of animation, but it is always good to know the options available through the browser.
