Try a website that offers animations for pics. Like Blingee.

Give me a list of any editing programs you have and I’ll see what I can do to walk you through it, or at least link you to a tutorial. considering how tired I am :)

Gimp is an excellent program however I don’t remember it having the capability of saving .gifs with multiple animated frames. I could be wrong but I’ve yet to do the research necessary. If such an option exists what you’ll *probably* have to do is set up the slides you want as different sequential layers and when you go to save as a .gif there should be an option that says something like “Save as (web) animation” “Animate Layers” or something to that effect. Look around under your saving options. Again I have not used Gimp in a long time but seeing how similar it is to photoshop that was how old editions of PS did it. Anyway there are much better programs for creating .gifs

What version of Gimp do you have if no other programs are capable. I will get back to you with a definite solution or tutorial If after I’ve researched your problem.

Man that was a long time ago lol, I got better at gimp.

Heres how you get to change your pic.

Account/Personal Profile/Choose An Image/Browse/Upload your pic/Update Channel.

It should take about 6 hours for your pic to change…Idk why, youtube is just slow.
