Develop your own GIF files from images using Python
Images constitute a substantial part of our lives, whether on the internet, in books, journals, or magazines. They help in grasping the relevant information quicker and more effectively convey a specific message to the observers. Working with these images is also a significant part of programming, especially in the fields of computer vision and image processing.
Looking at individual images is fun, but pairing them together to create a small animated file to add further meaning and value to the image allowing the observers to gain additional information, is intriguing. While videos or movies are a constitution of a bunch of pictures paired together, they are often lengthy.
However, the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) developed in 1987 supports up to 8 bits per pixel and can contain 256 indexed colors. They can be used to display still images or a small animated file, usually lasting a few seconds. These GIF files are like flipbooks that help to communicate unique ideas, humor, and emotion or convey meaningful expressions.
In this article, we will work on the GIF creation project with the help of images that, when paired together in a sequence, help to contribute to a specific meaning or action. We…
