Affinity Designer Tutorial - Create Animated GIF using Artboards @2dgameartguru

Uploaded July 2022 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This video tutorial shows the creation of an Animated GIF image using Affinity Designer and ezgif.com

In order to create animated images in Affinity Designer, I had to create some PNG images first. Seeing Affinity Designer [at this stage] is missing an Export setting for animated GIFs, I had to go through an external tool to combine these images into an animated GIF. This video shows you the process of making a simple animated GIF in Affinity Designer.

Most of the functionality shown in the video can be created with other software tools such as Adobe's Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.
