How to quickly get GIF images? Operator get!

Today, GIF animated images are becoming more and more popular.

How can we quickly get GIF animations?

How to easily create GIF dynamic images? Don't worry, there will always be bread and milk.

Now I will share with you some GIF animation material libraries. Of course, it is definitely more than just a material library. I will also tell you how to quickly record and make GIF animations by yourself, and recommend some tools .

Oh, by the way, at the end I will also share with you the complete guide to making GIF animations using PS.

1 GIF animation library

There’s not much to explain about the animated image library, so just upload it directly.

The first thing I recommend is the Gif search engine Giphy (giphy.com)

Giphy is undoubtedly the largest Gif search engine at present, with a lot of resources covering all kinds of genres and styles.

In particular, there are screen recording GIFs that are popular among the people, various film and television variety shows, all kinds of vulgar and sour things, various celebrity emoticons , and all kinds of cat and dog pictures.

Some people even say that if you want to find GIFs, just use Giphy.

Then, there is the website SOOGIF (soogif.com).

SOOGIF is first of all a very useful GIF tool, which supports online GIF compression, GIF production, GIF cropping, and video to GIF conversion and other functions.

In addition, SOOGIF is also a powerful GIF animation library, providing full search of funny, emoticon, beauty, celebrity, and hot event GIF animations. There is also a tool for fighting pictures on QQ and WeChat .

You can find interesting animated pictures directly by searching.

Next up, Golden Wolf (goldenwolf.tv)

Golden Wolf, founded in 2013, has diverse styles that are very much in line with the tastes of young people. In addition to enthusiasm, what they lack the least is imagination and creativity. Highly recommended!

The following is scorpion dagger (scorpiondagger.tumblr.com)

This website is a bit heavy-handed, with all kinds of spoofs. Anyway, I want to laugh every time I watch it, but I don’t know where the funny part is.

This website doesn’t have many animated images, but the quality is very high and the emphasis is on precision. I personally like it very much.

Let me tell you about Rafael Varona ( www.rafael-varona.com )

This is an illustration by German designer Rafael Varona. The style is mostly fresh and simple, with a hint of metaphor or story, and the quality is also good.

Especially the GIF animations are very special, highly recommended!

In addition, there is also a Gifparanoia (www.gifparanoia.org), you can also take a look.

There are countless GIFs here, and they are not the kind of shameless ones. The types are hard to find and are related to work and life in the workplace. If you have such needs, you can look for materials on this website.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know English, you’ll see animated pictures when you open it.

There is also the MONO APP (Youpin GIF).

This APP has a special GIF animation section, where a large number of creative GIF materials can be found, and the GIF authors and work names are also marked.

This is a very good way. We can search for pictures online by author and work title, which may produce unexpected results.

Here are some great dynamic image websites:

Rafael-varona: behance.net/rafaelvarona

Gifbin: gifbin.com

Giphy categories: giphy.com/categories/

Of course, in addition to these, there is also a super large dynamic image library - Baidu.

First, you can search for a lot of dynamic images in Baidu Pictures based on keywords ; secondly, we can also find a lot of dynamic image websites by searching in Baidu .

There is just one thing, if you search for animated pictures on Baidu, you will find all kinds of evil animated pictures and all kinds of erotic animated pictures, which can be embarrassing if you are not careful.

It's better to proceed with caution.

In addition, in " Recommendations for domestic high-quality picture material websites! (With high-definition foreign picture materials) 》, I also recommended several GIF animation websites. Any similarity is purely intentional.

It's always good to have a few quality websites in your collection.

2. Quickly record GIFs yourself

In addition to looking for animated images everywhere, we can actually make GIF animated images ourselves, which may be more in line with what we want in our minds.

Especially for some tutorials or demonstration pictures, it is obvious that you need to record GIF animations yourself.

There are mainly three types here: one is to use pictures to make dynamic pictures, the second is to use video capture to make dynamic pictures, and the third is to directly record gif dynamic pictures. You can use the following tools:

Giftools

gif fast hand

Easy GIF Animator

Screen to Gif (GIF animation recording software)

GifCam

Ulead GIF Animator GIF production generation

Instagiffer (GIF animation maker)

QQ Video Intercept Video Clips

Koukou Video Show/AnimateGif directly captures GIF

There is also Thunder Player, which can directly take GIF screenshots after watching videos.

These software are very simple and not that difficult. You will learn how to use them after spending some time. They can handle funny movie screenshots, tutorial demonstration animations, text addition, GIF recording, animation synthesis and so on.

I won't explain them one by one in detail here, basically you can use it with your hands. The following is just a demonstration using screen to gif as an example.

Screen to GIF is a very useful tool for making dynamic images and recording screens (download resources are available at the end of the article). It is very easy to use. After downloading the tool, open it:

As shown in the picture above, the first three functions are all recording, but the recording objects are different. In addition to recording, the editor also has functions such as adding text and cropping.

Usually you choose to record the screen, and then a small window will appear. Move the small window to the position you want to capture, and the blank and transparent area inside is the recorded content.

You can also drag the border or adjust the size below to adjust the size of the recording range.

In addition, when recording, there is a frame rate option at the bottom of the interface.

The larger the frame rate, the more images are captured per second, and the larger the final GIF will be. However, the better the quality of the capture, generally around 20 is enough.

After completing the settings, click to start recording. After recording, you will enter an editing window where you can adjust and export the frames of the GIF image, as well as apply filters and special effects. It is very good.

After the adjustment is completed, select the icon to save as gif.

3 PS production animation strategy

Finally, there is the animated graphics made with PS, which is actually also a type of DIY production, but I singled it out here because PS is pretty awesome.

As we know, there are many forms of animated images, and the most common and commonly used GIFs are divided into the following three types:

The first type: existing GIF material + text/QR code

You’ve found a GIF that’s perfect for your needs, but you want to add text? What if I want to put my own QR code? For example, the following picture:

What should I do if I want to convert several static images into GIF format? For example, this one:

The third type: Cinemagraph

That is, the popular approach now is to have a certain tiny part in a static photo move slightly while other parts of the photo remain still.

This method is very popular in advertising design, and many brands have released such posters. For example, the following picture:

So how do you use PS to complete the above three types of animated images?

I recommend the article “ The complete guide to making the GIF animations you want!” by the public account Copywriter (ID: sun-work). You will do it after watching it! (Practical Tutorial) 》.

This is a tutorial-oriented article, which is very detailed. It provides corresponding detailed operations for the above three types of GIF animations, and basically every step is written out. Great.

If you know a little bit about PS, I still recommend you to take a look.

Okay, that’s all about GIF animations. Hope it still helps you.
