How to Make Looping .GIFs

A looping GIF is an animated GIF image file that infinitely repeats, playing the image for as long as it is displayed on the screen. Looping GIF images are typically used on Web pages to add motion to a logo or banner. They can also be used to animate a collection of still frames from a film to display a short movie clip. You can create a looping GIF image without having to download any software by using one of several free GIF animation websites.
