This step-by-step tutorial describes how to create GIF from images in C#. It provides detailed steps to configure the environment along with the logical flow of the program to understand the process easily. By using C# animated GIF creation code is also provided at the end that uses different types of images like JPG, PNG, and BMP to create a GIF file.

Steps to Create GIF From Images in C#

1. Establish the environment to use Aspose.Imaging for .NET into your project to create GIF
2. Create a list of raster images using the image files on the disk
3. Create a GIF image using the first raster image in the list
4. Parse the remaining list and add each image to the GIF image
5. Save the GIF image on the disk

The above steps describe how with the help of C# create GIF from images by sharing the step-by-step approach where first all the images are loaded into a list of RasterImage class objects and then a GIF file is created by using the first image in the list. Once the GIF image is created, now you can add as many images as you like to create the required GIF image.

Code to Create GIF From Images in C#

This code demonstrates how using C# create animated GIF by following the above steps. When we create GIF from the first image, we can also set the color palette and if we do not set is as in the above example, the default color palette is used. Also, while loading the images from the disk into the list, you can use LoadOptions class object that supports setting the custom font source, setting buffer size hint to handle large images, and setting data background color when pixel value cannot be recovered due to some errors.

This article has taught us that using C# create GIF with the help of just a few lines of code only. If you are interested in other features like rotating images, refer to the article on how to rotate image in C#.
