But have you ever made your own GIF? You may have ideas for the grandest of GIFs, but maybe you don’t know how to make that dream a reality.
Maybe you’ve used a GIF on your phone to send a funny animation to a friend, or you’ve seen them pop up in comments on Facebook. This, of course, only makes the humble GIF even more impressive. It served as an early example of something you could do online that you couldn’t do in print and has survived mostly unchanged since its inception in the late 1980s, remaining popular today despite the dramatic rise in high-quality web video formats. GIFs are modest, generally rendered in low resolution and limited frame rate, yet the format has become a darling of the internet. They’re like the flipbooks of the internet - great for conveying thoughts and emotions that words can’t describe, showcasing the antics of your adorable household pets, making abstract art, or giving you a good chuckle. Or maybe 50,000? A million, perhaps? OK, let’s not overanalyze the metaphor! The point is, GIFs are amazing. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an animated GIF is worth 10,000.
