This looks a bit clumsy - it took me a while to figure out where the ‘Next’ button is, after I uploaded the images. But let’s take a chance. Remember ugly duckling?

Of course you can upload stuff from your computer.
You are allowed to upload as many as ten images for turning it into an animated gif. You can set the pace to normal, fast or slow. You can save your animation, tag it and email to friends!

Not bad!

If you already have a ready animated gif, then use this site to add a special effect to your animation. They have an impressive list of special effects I tell you! Moreover, if you press “edit”, you can conduct a number of operations; such as write text on the animation, resize/crop/rotate the animation and even add/eliminate tansparency! Furthermore by clicking “optimize” you can reduce the colors, choose websafe colours and also split the animation into frames!

This site has more than the ability to create Animated Gifs. But in this post we’ll focus on its animation powers. You can upload nine images. Each image is called a frame. You can click individual images to set the speed and style of transition into the next frame!
