Microsoft GIF Animator Editor's Review

Microsoft GIF Animator is a handy little widget that lets you create your own animations very easily. It’s now a piece of open source freeware, so it’s not going to cost you anything. This software is so easy to use that if you can draw a picture, then you can create an animation. You can use these animations to entertain yourself and your friends and family as your finished animations can be uploaded to video sharing sites. They can also be imported into websites, blogs or presentations to add a bit of extra interest.

Pros: The main plus with Microsoft GIF Animator is that it’s free. The second is that it really is a total doddle to use. Even virtual beginners can put together a simple animated sequence in a few minutes.

Cons: The clue is pretty much in the name. Microsoft GIF Animator can only cope with GIF images. This might cause you a little pain, but since it’s pretty straightforward to convert most file formats into GIF, this shouldn’t put you off getting this software.

Conclusion: If you want to add some excitement and interest to your website or blog, then it’s worth getting this little package. It won’t cost you anything and it’s great fun to use. Even if you don’t think you have loads of technical expertise, it won’t take you long to master Microsoft GIF Animator.
