Back in some of the early days of the Internet, GIF images seemed to be everywhere. GIF animations in particular were a huge hit because they actually enabled people to make images move, which was quite a big step forward from images that were simply static. Of course, as is the case with anything new and shiny, people overused them, and we all became tired of seeing every image on a page dance around endlessly. We don’t see animated GIF images very much anymore because Flash has taken up the slack, but you can still make and use them, and GIFup.com will animate your images in no time at all.

Before you create your GIF animation, you’ll obviously need some images to work with, and you can either upload them from your computer, get them from Flickr, or import them from a URL. Once they’re uploaded, you can then modify their appearance and add effects and text. As soon as you specify the final settings, you’ll be able to see your animated GIF in all of its glory and save it and share it in any way that you see fit.
