Animated gifs contain a series of images (or frames) that are displayed one after the other and give a semblance of animation, just as in traditional animation techniques. Also, in animated gifs you can control the time for which each frame is displayed.Animated Gifs are gif images that consist of two or more frames, which are played one after the other to give a semblance of animation - quite like standard animation techniques.

The individual frames in an animated gif can be created as separate images that are then brought togheter to form an animated Gif. And this is how we will make our animated image. We will first create two images that form the two frames of our animation and then bring them together to form the Gif image.
