Step 1įrom the File menu, click on Open as Layers and select all the images you want to include in the GIF. I presume that you have already installed GIMP in Ubuntu or whichever operating system you are using. My idea is to make a “flashing” web banner, to draw the attention to something important. The method that I use here is called “the combine method”, in which the new frame is added to the previous frame. I will use 2 images as my layers but you are welcome to add more when you make your own. In this tutorial, I will create a simple web banner based on It’s FOSS logo.
Using GIMP as an animation tool requires you to think of every layer as of an animation frame.
In this GIMP tutorial, I’ll show you how to create a simple GIF in GIMP. You can create a GIF very easily with GIMP, the powerful open-source image editing software. Making a GIF can be fun and many users would like to know how to make one.
