How Do You Make GIFs Move in Canva?

Last updated on September 27, 2022 @ 11:14 pm

GIFs are a fun and easy way to add some life and personality to your website or blog. But how do you make them move?

In Canva, it’s easy to create moving GIFs from images, videos, and even live video streams. Here’s how:

First, open Canva and sign up for a free account. Then, click on the “Create a design” button and select the “GIF” option from the list of design types. You can also find this option by searching for “GIF” in the search bar.

Once you’re in the GIF editor, you can upload images, videos, or live video from your computer or directly from your webcam. To add images, click on the “Upload Images” button and select the image files you want to use.

To add videos, click on the “Upload Video” button and select the video file you want to use. To add live video, click on the “Record Video” button and start recording.

PRO TIP: GIFs are a popular way to add animation and interest to a Canva design. However, you should be aware that GIFs can be large files that may take a while to load, especially if you are using a slow internet connection. Additionally, some GIFs may contain offensive or inappropriate content. If you are unsure about the content of a GIF, it is best to avoid using it in your design.

Once you have your media added, you can drag and drop it into the order you want it to appear in your GIF. You can also add text by clicking on the “Add Text” button and typing your message. To change the font, color, or size of your text, use the options in the top toolbar.

When you’re happy with your design, click on the “Animate” button in the top toolbar. This will open up the animation options menu where you can choose how long each frame should appear for and what kind of transition you want between frames. You can also add animated stickers by clicking on the “Stickers” button.

When you’re finished designing your GIF, click on the “Download” button in the top toolbar to save it to your computer. You can also share it directly to social media or embed it on your website or blog.

Conclusion

In Canva, creating moving GIFs is easy and only requires a few clicks. Simply upload your images, videos, or live video footage, add text if desired, choose your animation settings, and download or share your finished GIF.
