Make your Web sites
come alive with motion! Microsoft® GIF Animator is the fast and easy
way to create and customize animations for your Web sites. No code is required
to make your Web sites more eye-catching. And... it's free.
Better yet, GIF
Animator is designed to work in tandem with Microsoft® Image Composer
to produce the animations you want. Simply drag and drop your images from
Microsoft Image Composer into Microsoft GIF Animator and you can create
an animation in minutes.
Microsoft GIF Animator
creates animations based on the GIF89a file format, which stores timing
information to create the illusion of animation like a cartoon flipbook.
An easy-to-use program, Microsoft GIF Animator allows you to:
|
Drag images
directly from Microsoft Image Composer. Arrange, customize, and create
images in Microsoft Image Composer and simply drag them into Microsoft
GIF Animator. The Guided Tour below shows you how easy this is to do. Use
the more than more than 500 tools and effects in Microsoft Image Composer™
to get the look you want. You can also drag images into GIF Animator from
other image editing applications. |
|
Customize your
animations the way you want. Microsoft GIF Animator has three easy-to-use
property sheets that allow you to control all aspects of your animations.
Make your animations loop, spin and fade in and out; set the size and transparency
of your images; and control a wide range of other options all with a simple
click of the mouse. |
|
Quickly make
your animations Web-ready. Microsoft GIF Animator makes it easy for
you to prepare your animations for the Web by automatically assigning an
8-bit color palette to each of your images. This saves you the time and
work of loading your own palette. You can also load your own custom palettes
for each image. |
