MAKE A GIF, we have put here a great guideline tutorial to go through the process and get your GIF up and looping in just a few minutes.Before we dive right in to the tutorial, we’ll address the master of lies, the best friend of skinny girls, the one and only king in the room: Photoshop.

 There are other ways to do it and other programs that can make GIFs, but few can compare to Adobe’s industry-leading software. If you don’t have Photoshop, we recommend checking out GifMaker, 9gag Gif maker or Photoshop's homologous Gimp. If you’re on an Ios or Android device, check out GifBoom and mny other websites, But if you want to get serious about making GIFs, PhotoshopHow to make an animated GIF with still images:
You can also create animated GIFs in Photoshop by stringing together still images. This process consists of layering each frame the bottom up and then sequencing the layers using Photoshop’s animation/timeline tool.

Step one:

Collect the still images that you want to sequence for your GIF and put them in a single folder. Check out our guide on how use a MAC or a PC to take screenshots like a pro. Then open File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack. From there, click Browse and select the images on your desktop that you want to string together into a GIF. Select “OK” and a new composition should open with these stills now rendered as individual layers in a single image. Arrange them accordingly; your first frame should occupy the very bottom layer and so forth.

You can also create each layer individually in Photoshop itself, rather than simply batch uploading your stills as layers. Run Photoshop and create a new image by clicking File > New and then selecting “OK.” Then, unlock the background layer by double-clicking the lock icon, create a new layer by opening Layer > New… > Layer and design each frame accordingly. Again, string your animation from the bottom up. This process works if you are using an older version of Photoshop that does not feature a “Load Files into Stack” option. Simply load your stills into Photoshop, drag them into your new project, and resize the newly created layers accordingly using Photoshop’s free transform tool (edit > free transform or Ctrl + T, then drag the corners to resize the object).

Step Two: 

Now that you’ve arranged your layers accordingly, you can began sequencing your layers. Again, this process will vary depending on what version of Photoshop you are using. For Photoshop CS5 and lower, access the animation window by opening “Window” + “Animation.” Likewise, click “Window” + “Timeline” in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC to access the Timeline window. For Photoshop CC, click the drop-down menu in the middle of the Timeline window and select “Create Frame Animation.”
Once you’ve opened Photoshop’s sequencing tool, click on small, right-facing arrow in the upper-right hand corner, and then select “Make Frames From Layers.”You can also click on the right-facing arrow to create a new frame manually (or you can simply use the hot-key command Ctrl>Shift>Alt>F). From there, use the eye icon next to each layer to hide the layers you don’t want to appear in the frame you’ve created.From here, use the menu underneath each frame to toggle its duration. The menu in the bottom left-hand corner dictates how many times your GIF will replay — set it to “Forever” if you want it to loop endlessly.

Step Three: 

Congratulations! You’ve created an animated GIF using still images and now all you have to do is export it out of Photoshop using the process outlined above. For a quick recap:Head for File > Save for Web. Remember to keep your GIF no larger than 1MB. If necessary, tweak the color, dither, loss, and size settings until your GIF has been resized accordingly. Once you’re happy, save your newly minted GIF.
