A well-made GIF is a powerful thing. In the right hands, a movie clip can be turned into the perfect reaction GIF, or a simple cute moment can be transformed into an easy to digestible format that can be shared across the interwebs.
A GIF can be anything, therefore GIF creators have unlimited potential. They can be a clip from an awesome design reel that ends up receiving over 5 million views…
…or a puppy being cute, that ends up making someone’s day a little better.
Of course, with great power comes great responsibility. Who can forget the great GIF war of ’15?
If you’re ready to enter the battle, we’ve put together this guide on how to make your own GIFs.
Basic GIF making
The most simple way to create a GIF is using our very own Video to GIF tool. It generate GIFs from hundreds of popular video sites and convert them to glorious, high quality 15-second GIFs that are perfect for sharing. Head over to imgur.com/vidgif to make a GIF!
The Next Level
If you’re ready to take your GIF making game to the next level, these posts by Imgurian IH8MyPP might help.
These two Imgurians used the tutorial and shared their brand new creations with the community.
More Advanced
Once you have handled the basics, it’s time to level up. The next two posts help you learn how to create basic motion tracking, for snazzy effects, and using a green screen, for overlaying different images from different scenes.
Now go forth and create new, glorious GIFs! But use your new found powers for good.
