5. Working with PhotoLine / 5.7 Creating Images For The Web

### 5.7.4 Animated GIFs

In PhotoLine, there are two ways to create animations for the web:

- Classic layer-based animations (Chapter 4.30).
As with a flipbook, each layer represents a frame of the animation. However, the layer does not have to contain the entire frame, but can also modify only a part of the animation.
- The Dynamic Animation (chapter 7.9.1)
The layers form only the components, from which the animation is put together. The actual animation consists of the layers and commands, when and how long a layer is displayed in the animation and how it should change during this time (position, size, rotation, opacity).

Both animation types can be saved as GIF, PNG and WebP.

To further process an animation in another program that does not (correctly) support the above file types, the frames of the animation can also be exported as separate files (chapter 7.9.2).
