Editing the GIF Animations plugin

A GIF animation is produced from a background image (JPEG or PNG), an animation type (from a sample of nine examples) and a message that is displayed on the last frame of the animation.

The following elements are editable:

  1. Background image (required): JPEG or PNG image, max 10Mib. NOTE: the image will be cropped to a 7:6 ratio, so please use a landscape image of similar dimensions.
  2. Animation (required): the type of animation to be superimposed over your background image.
  3. Font (required): The font to be used on the message. The default font covers a large number of alphabets. The “Arabic” font covers the Arabic alphabet, and the “Star Wars” font lets you create messages in the alphabet used in the saga of the same name,
  4. Your message (required): the message displayed at the end of the animation (max 140 characters including line breaks.) The text is formatted to the correct size automatically. REM: emoji are not supported!
