How to make an Animated GIF in Photoshop

- Many assume the way to pronounce GIF is with a hard G sound because G is for Graphic. The inventor of the file format requested it be pronounced with a soft G so the it sounds like the peanut butter (Jif). Please don’t correct me on my pronunciation as I will simply remove your comment.

In just five minutes you can easily make an animated GIF in Adobe Photoshop.
You can then share by attaching the GIF to emails, post to websites or social media sites such as Tumblr You can even copy the Image URL and paste to your status in Facebook.

The creators of the format pronounced the word as "jif" with a soft "G" /dʒɪf/ as in "gym". Steve Wilhite says that the intended pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand Jif, and CompuServe employees would often say "Choosy developers choose GIF", spoofing this brand's television commercials.

Thankful for tutorial but sticks and stones may break my bones but I will never pronounce gif as a jif.
Think I need a new Jrahpics Card for this
Just to add a piece of helpful advice!! When I first tried this I couldn't figure out how to get the timeline display, and it wasn't mentioned in this video but all you have to do is go to Window (in the top toolbar near View and Help) --> Workspace --> Motion. Then the timeline bar should appear at the bottom
It was there by default when I made this movie.
Thanks so much man
@@AlphaCreativeSkills you should pin his comment, it wasn't there by default in me either.
Thank you sooo much
tysm
the most straight forward and most comprehensive explanation, thank you!!
In 2022 you have to change the view from video timeline to frame animation
Thank you! You are the most effective tutor amongst all the photoshop experts here in RUclips.
This is one of the best and quick video about how to create an animated gif and I found it very helpful. Thank you Mark
Very nicely explained. A clearly step by step tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you, struggling until I found this, just created my first Gif, really helpful.
See my channel videos, I have a good one about gif Animation.
everything i learned about Ps was from youtube tutorials. this was by far the most succinct, informative, and direct tutorial i have ever seen. Mark Galer is awesome. thank you.
I just wanna say thank you for getting to the point!!! Your amazing!!! Everyone else was hella long winded...my goodness
Thank you, Mark. I played the video while working in Photoshop... and it worked .!!
I'm not one to post comments but there is no tutorial easier to follow than this one tysm!
Perfect way to describe how to do this. I just followed your directions and made a GIF !!!
Thanks so much!
Cheers!
Fantastic!
Thanks so much! I often forget the method and continually come back to this. appreciate it
Happy to help!
Once again I want to thank you Mark for sharing your time, knowledge and charisma!
My pleasure!
This was the perfect explanation. Very helpful.
This is by far the best tutorial on youtube. I only had to watch it once even though I have just begun learning Ps.....
I followed your tutorial good...but my Photoshop won't show the makeframes from layers. I cannot create gifs.
this was so simple and easy to follow - thank you so much! i wish all tutorials were like this!
Finally, a great tutorial with clear explanations, easy to follow, and brief! Thanks
This is fantastic because I always pronounced it as JIF and just today my boyfriend was telling me I was wrong and I was like meh I like the sound and NOW I KNOW I WAS RIGHT! Thank you!
Thank You - Had to learn this in a few hours. I've done animation for years (no conceptual problems, in other words), but every explanation of the photoshop tools that I saw before I came across your video were either needlessly complicated and poorly described or else just obtuse. Yours is perfectly clear and short - I really appreciate you taking the time to make it and wish I had come across it first!
Thanks for the positive feedback :-)
Older video, but still awesome. Very helpful - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
When tap Save... Write Adobe Save for Web Error. What can I?😭
Thank you so much for this tutorial, it was really helpful. I'd been wanting to make simple animations of my illustrations and didn't realise that I could use Photoshop. 😁
Thanks Mark I bought another program not realising Photoshop had this much Gif capability and more
this video is the best of all out of youtube, teach same thing but more simple and efficient than others! Thanks a lot!
Glad you think so!
Mark, you are a great tutor. I bought my A7ii partly based on your incredible content. Thanks! If only Panasonic had a Mark Galer for the G9...
Concise, to the point, combined with very useful content; just the way we like it. Thanks Mark.!
I cannot find the selection where you can "make frames from new layers". Do you just right-click in the timeline? It does nothing for me. I don't understand how to get it to show up. My attempt at gifs just shows the first image over all the others.
it's almost 2022 and i am here still looking for this tutorial. thank you for the clear explanation!
Glad it was helpful!
Came to learn how to make a GIF, learned how to make a JIF!
The guy who made this video & or who is narrating it, is saying the letter G improperly. Obviously. He doesn't know you pronounce the letter G as in Glad or the word "Gift" without the letter T at the end of the word. He doesn't know & or realize it's not pronounced like the letter J. I know, I know.... Potato, Potoddo, .... Tomato, Tomotto.
LOL !!!
@@michaeldonaldson7037 Gin, Giraffe, Ginger, Ginsing, Gist, Giant, Gypsy
@@michaeldonaldson7037 He's pronouncing it the correct way like 'JIFF'.
@@TommyFarrell69 Mind your own fuckin' business, Tommy. Unless you are in bed with Cam. Besides, if the real word is "GIF" then the word being made fun of is spelled "JIF". Unless the changed the spelling from "GIF" to "Giff" now.
Well done sir.
Helping me get over from down under...
Cheers!
Excellent instructional video. You walk through the steps beautifully. Thank you for giving me just the instruction I needed, without a bunch of clutter.
Thank you👌. The final File is also suitable to use in PowerPoint. In older version of Photoshop Save for web is not in Export category, so better to press Alt+Shift+Ctrl+S
Thanks for your input
I'm not seeing anywhere to control the speed. In the PSD preview it's nice and slow. When I go to export it's way too fast. Thoughts?
Is there a way to stabilize the end product like in premiere pro (warp stabilizer)? Using this method I'll need to export the GIF, convert to video format, stabilize the video, then convert it back to GIF.
You can auto align the layers before you make the GIF
This was soooo helpful. Just made my first ever gif! God bless you Mark!
See my channel videos, I have a good one about gif!
I get an error code 48 when I got to stacked images from scripts. In the past it has allowed me to do so but not it doesn’t.
very nice and simple explanantion... i did it so easily... thank you my friend... great job....
I used your tutorial to make my first ever GIF. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
the simplest video with the best outcome lets go!
Thanks for the positive feedback
After loading the stacked layers, I notice that ALL of my animation frames look the same. They all look like the layer that has the EYE icon turned on. So, when I hit the PLAY button, nothing happens because of the EYE icon being highlighed. But, if I turn the EYE icon off on that first layer, then that frame in the animation stack becomes clear. I am REALLY confused here. How do I get my animation frames to behave individually and in sequence as they are supposed to behave? The weird thing is, when I first imported/opened the stacked image layers, and I hit the play button, they worked perfectly, only, they animated backwards. I don't understand what I did wrong. This should be easy. I have made GIFs before that work perfectly. What am I doing wrong THIS time around?
Not sure what you are doing wrong - the million+ viewers of this tutorial generally have no difficulty with creating a GIF following these guidelines.
A well created and presented instructional video !! The narration is clear and comprehensible . Good job !! 👌
Thank you very much!
it loads my images into the timeline as one combined image. How do i make them all be separate?

I have a problem, every time I've tried this way it runs the gif backwards for some reason. My layer panel has them in descending order. I select the first image in that order and do the steps. Inevitably it sorts the gif itself backwards for some reason.
An easy, and well explained step by step tutorial ! very helpful ! thank you
I sometimes have an animation with 40-50 frames. The jpgs are numbered in order that I need them to play. When I do load file from stack they show up in order. When I select create frame animation and then make frames from layers, everything is loaded backwards and i have to drag each frame to put it in order. Is there a quick fix after you load the frames to reverse the order?
Greatly appreciated... thank you! Excellent and easy to follow instructions. I keep coming back because I can't remember the simple steps and the accent is nice :)

have you found the solution?
You just position the images backwards. The last one move it to first place, and so on
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I’ve watched 20 videos before this to figure it out but I got it! Thank you thank you!
You made this process so seamless. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Good explanation. Thanks for going slowly and showing each step.
You video helped me complete a homework assignment, so thank you 🙂
Glad I could help!
awesome tutorial! also interesting, one of my first graphic design professors went to college with the inventor of the gif format and according to him there is no right or wrong way to say it
Thank you so much, I needed that speedy kind of way of making a gif
Hi! Is there a small function button, that crops a bit the image, based on the focus? Someone told me there is this trick, for photos that are not done with a tripod, so there is a small camera motion mainly a bit to the right, or a bit to the left, or a bit to high. SO the gif looks...not that good. But is somehow, photoshop could sense this difference, and crop a bit, it think it will solve the problem. But I do not know if there is such a thing...
THANKS!! Adobe seems to move all the controls around with every update and I cannot remember how to do the Jif ;-) stuff anyway. SOOOOOO Mark THANKS!!! Got me back on track
sir when i save for web its more than 1 gif shows in crome browser....can you please help me ??? thanks...
"to open the timeline just press the timeline button" great tutorial....
thank you ! such easy, clear and concise instructions
Thank you! Very helpful even in the newest version 2022!
Glad it helped!
Really helpful. Thank you. Also, thanks for complicating my understanding of how to pronounce that particular file type. ;-) From now on I'm just calling them "Jifes" -- or perhaps in the Spanish style: "Hif". Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful!
Couldn't help myself: it's a very good tutorial. extremely helpful
Glad you liked it!
Does anyone know why the box underneath where the frame animation is supposed to be isn't showing on my photoshop?
Go to the Window menu and select Timeline
Thank you so much. I used to make gifs all the time during tumblr's popularity and forgot everything. I've also seen gifs that have a static frame background and the gif is inside that static frame, so essentially it's a graphic inside a graphic - if that makes sense? I wouldn't imagine it's any different, but that's what I'm trying to do for one of my clients.
Well darn! Everything was going well until create timeline animation was nowhere to be found. :(
Window > Timeline (to open the Timeline panel if it is hidden from view) > Create frame animation.
it doesn't work for me: when selecting 'create frame animation' the first image does not 'automatically load' and I am stuck there with nothing I can do, so it seems, help anyone?
I am unable to resolve your issue (as I cannot see what you are doing) but this workflow works for the vast majority of users.
Legends say, that woman is still spinning.
Sorry to bother but can you help me I was followed ur steps but when I open it doesnt move like a Gif as usual, any ideas?
It depends what you are opening it with - not all software will play the animation. Try just dragging it into a browser window.
This was a wonderful and easy video to comprehend. Very grateful :D
You just saved my life. Thank you so much!!!!
Very nice & detailed explained. Thank you.
Thank you for this tutorial! Finally helped me create a GIF exactly how I wanted. I had to align my pictures automatically because I was moving a bit taking those pictures. But now I am not sure how to crop the excess of the image. I tried using the crop tool but that only worked for one image at a time. Any advice please?
Very helpful, thanks Mark
I want it's image source. I'm not getting this image anywhere. Plz if you could help me with this.
I don't understand your question
My first clip is the last frame though, just like in your video. Any way to change that?
Change the order of the layers
So clear, well-timed and helpful. THANK YOU.
Glad it was helpful!
However even after selecting 'convert to sRGB' and selecting 256 colors, the coloring still looks wrong after export - why is this?
I am unable to diagnose your colour management issues without extensive information from you. The first step in problematic colour management would be to calibrate and profile your monitor.
FYI what worked for me here was to export the file as an MP4 (File > Export > Render Video) and then use an online MP4 to GIF converter, to convert the file to GIF.
Thanks, it helped a lot.
i couldnt find that option in Export..but ppl can use this ctrl+alt+shift+s
Excellent explanation! It was super easy to make a GIF on my own with your video! Thank you so much!
very Helpful mark.. thanks
Good instruction video! Thanks!
This is an excellent tutorial. Thank you so much. It helped me to create a simple GIF.
Excellent video. I just watched three others that were made more recent and those sucked. Yours was right to the point and easy to understand. Now I just have to play with the transitions (tween) a bit.
Great video mate. I got to the save gif in save for web legacy but i keep getting unknown error. Im using 100 frames. Tried reducing size in save for web legacy window. No idea how to get round this. Any help would be appreciated. ty
how to fix the order of my image sequence? They are opposite
Change the order of the layers or the frames
I can’t click Save on 5:55. It says on my photoshop “Could not completr this operation. An unknown error has occired.
Have you tried restarting the computer
Mark Galer's Alpha Creative Skills okay. Will try. Thank you very much! ❤️
Very clear, concise explanation. Thank you!
How do you establish an order? Whenever I do this the images stack up out of order.
Change the order of the layers by dragging them to a new position before creating the frames.
@@AlphaCreativeSkills Yeah, I do that, but not matter what the first one keeps ending up as the last one and so on.
Thank you Mark!
Thank you! Great video
how do you access the timeline though? or how do you open the timeline in the first place?
Menu bar - ‘Window’
Wooo!!!! Thanks so much :))
Very helpful and easy to follow. Thank you
Hi, worked great, but may I point out one aspect you did not cover? How to invert the layer stack in case your GIF runs backwards like mine did.
Deselect all layers in your layer stack, click the Eye icon, and then drag them to the top of the stack, with each subsequent layer being dragged under the one you just placed, and so on and so forth through the stack until you have them all reversed. You should then be able to click on the top layer, hit the 'Create Frame Animation' button to load your first frame, and then the fly out menu> Make Frames from Layer and so forth. They should play in the correct sequence, thus.
hi Mark, i bought an A7RV recently, what is your best tutorial to learn?
I have a 600-page eBook for the A7RV (with links to 67 videos) + a camera setup file (CAMSET) available to download from my Patreon.com/markgaler support channel. It is a subscription service but their are no contracts or ongoing commitments beyond the first month (US $10.00)
Brilliant! Thank you for the very clear instructions.
