Bring your content to life and grab attention with a gif. Gifs are popular for expressing emotions in social media, creating memes, and enhancing online marketing content, adding interest to copy. And once you have created your first gif, your AI tool will be able to use this as a basis to create unlimited options, all with the same brand look and feel.
By following these simple steps , we show you how to create a gif using the AI platform of your choice – just like the one I have created here.
I used Gemini here as I find it a bit better than ChatGPT for creating images from scratch.
I also created this for free – I didn’t use a paid-for subscription, but you may have an AI tool that you’ve already programmed with your brand prompts – in which case, go ahead and use that.
Then simply follow the steps outlined below. You’ll be creating gifs in no time.
6 steps to creating your gif
Step 1: Go to Gemini or your choice of AI platform.
Step 2: Add your prompts. Here’s the prompt I used:
“Generate 4–5 static images showing different stages of the flower’s growth (seedling sprout \ bud \ blooming). These will be used to create a gif for a website image showing a flower growing. Use my brand colours Dark Violet:#31144D and Dusky Pink: #B87A88
Step 3: Review the output:
Image 1: The Sprout
A simple dusky-pink cotyledon pushes from a dark-violet seed.
Image 2: The Stem
A dusky-pink stem rises. Its first two small cotyledons are slightly open, revealing a nascent, dusky-pink apical bud.
Image 3: The Bud
The stem lengthens, now supporting a mature, elongated dark-violet bud that is tightly closed, ready to bloom. The base cotyledons are slightly withered.
Image 4: The Bloom
The final frame. The dark-violet bud has exploded into a simple, elegant, 6-petal bloom. The petals are dusky pink (#B87A88), outlined in dark violet (#31144D), with a dark-violet center stamen. The withered cotyledons are barely visible at the base of the sturdy stem.
Step 4: Feed Gemini with further prompts to adjust the output if desired. Here, I wanted the centre of the flower to contain the B of The Blurb’s brand, so I asked it to add this to 4th image. Once you’re happy with your images (you can have more than 4) then it’s time to create the gif.
Step 5: Go to Ezgif.com to turn your images into a gif.
Step 6: Upload your images. Sepect ‘Choose files’, find your saved images and then press ‘Upload files!’
Upload all of your images in order. Then, adjust the time delay between frames. I have gone for 80ms but you can try different delays to see what works.
Finally, click ‘Make a GIF!’.
Now you have your gif ready to use across your content. We hope you enjoy trying it out – you can now create unlimited images and gifs using AI and Ezgif.
