Animated GIF Makers?

**cafn8** · 12-16-2003, 07:13 PM

I see that several people on this board use animated GIFs as their avatars. I'm wondering if anyone can point me to a decent program to make animated GIFs either from another video format or a series of images. I did a google search and found quite a few, but don't necessarily want to download and install a half dozen programs to find a decent one. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd like to hear it. I'm using Windows.

Oh, and I'm a cheap bastard too so free is a plus.

Thanks.

I've used that one a few times before, works pretty good, and no need to download anything. What I mostly use is Adobe ImageReady(comes with Photoshop 7), but that not a free program.
