Some graphic programs come with animation programs, but for those of you who don't have such a program, Photoscape offers a free program that's easy to use. Photoscape : Free Photo Editing Software Download. Just download the program, and go to the AniGif part. Set the size for you avatar where it says, "Set Canvas Size", most people use a square the size of 125x125 pixels. If you make a rectangle, the largest size can't be over 125 pixels. This is the size for a donating member; non-donating members have to use a smaller file size, which can be no bigger than 75x75 pixels. |
After you downloaded the program, did it leave a short-cut on the desktop? If so click on this and the program will open. This picture is what you should see. The main two parts of the program that you'll probably use is "editor" and "AniGif". Use Editor to crop you pictures, and frames and borders or "text", or you can skip this and start with with the AniGif part for a simple avatar.
