How to make an animated gif using gimp (Free tool, open source)
This is my gif
This is how to make one yourself in 5 minutes
1. Install gimp https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
2. Next open as layers
3. Make sure all files are named 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc. Then hold down left shift and click 01.jpg and click the last file in our case 09.jpg they should all be highlighted.
4. Scale image this will scale all the images, I chose 1024*768 but the smaller resolution the smaller the file is.
5. Export the file as a gif make sure filename is .gif!!!!
Then make sure animate box is ticked and change delay to 1000ms (1 sec)
and export
I then hosted the file using Tor browser and this hosting service (Not all hosting works with tor) to anonymise my IP.
Copy the direct link and click the image button in the post options, paste the link into box or add IMG tags yourself.
