Microsoft Paint makes it easy to make GIFs.They are useful because they have small file sizes that don't take up much disk space and are easy to email.They are considered lossless since the original data can be recovered when the file is compressed.There are other programs that can be used to create animated signatures or short animations.Although GIFs have a lower picture quality than other file formats, they are still very effective at depicting images, text, logos, and small clips of video, especially with Microsoft Paint.
Step 1: First, copy.
Make a copy of the file first if you want to make a Gif.Changes may be caused by editing images.Before editing a picture, be sure to save the original picture.
Step 2: You can learn the basics of Microsoft Paint.

Step 4: Different brushes can be used.
Paint includes brushes of different styles, lines of various thickness, a large collection of shapes, background transparency options, and a full color palette.The color pick tool can be used to pick a specific color.

Step 10: For a background.
The advantage of GIFs is that they support transparent background.If necessary, your GIF can blend with background colors.A black or white background could be used to set the same GIF against.The best way to get partial transparency images is with the PNG files.Though they can support transparent background, they cannot be completely transparent.
