Hi,
I was a very long time I didn’t need to created a animated gif… I had a program before to take a static images (.jpg, .png etc…) and convert then into an animated gif…
All the web search engine push for online (aka SaaSS) tool 🤮
Do you know a program that do that ( Linux )
Thanks.
You can try the GIMP. Each layer is a animation frame when you export project as a GIF.
As a CLI there is gifsicle or imagemagick.
As a gui maybe gifcurry, tupitube or some other 2d animation tool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2D_animation_software
ffmpeg is my go to for things like this but I can never remember the necessary incantation on the command line. Fortunately ChatGPT tends to get you most of the way there a lot of the time, I would normally asks something like the following and start from there:

This is the guide for making the gif look good: https://blog.pkh.me/p/21-high-quality-gif-with-ffmpeg.html
Op this is the guide you need! I’ll leave my link up as comparison in quality of the guide a knowledgable human produces vs that predicted by an ml model
I use gifski
It’s designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif
Gimp can do some animations, but it’s probably not the most advance animation toolkit. I took the static image and converted it into an animation with GIMP, using a wobble effect. It creates lot of layers. Then save this as a gif, tick the animated tickbox.
