1. Find the Image you want.

I think this will be fairly simple, just find what you want. If it doesn’t have a transparent background you will need to follow step 2. For this example I will be using this LPS below;

2. Remove the background.

If your background is already transparent, ignore. But if not you would want to go to remove.bg and upload the image of your choice.

Don’t click “Download,” instead click “Download HD” for a higher quality image. Once it pops up click on the image and save.

3. Go to Ibispaint

Wait, didn’t we already clear the background though? No. When you make it transparent it will still have invisible dots.

Open Ibispaint and open a canvas at least 100x100 (I use 300x300.) and import your transparent image. Open the second button on the right and you will see a drop down option. You would want to click select opacity, invert selection area, then clear the layer 3-4 times.

The example below presents before and after. Congrats if you did it right!

Now, if you want to animate it you can put it at different angles etc etc. It’s up to you. Save both frames with a transparent background.

4. Final step, animating it!

Now that we have our images we want to make a pixel go to Ezgif.com then click “Gif Maker”

It will ask to upload your static images, once you uploaded your images it should look like this;

You can crossfade or not stack frames. It’s up to you. Personally I just use one frame at a time.

And now we have our gif! You can stop here if you wan’t but here are some optional choices that I personally do.

Extras:

To edit how fast it goes, click the “speed” button and it will show you some options to edit speed. “% of current speed” and “hundredth of second between frames.” I use % so we will use that for the example. You can do whatever percentage you want though I would suggest 20-50% of current speed. I do 40% for all of my pixels.

To edit the size of it, click “resize” and it will show width, height, and a percentage. The only thing you would need is width or height. When you type a number into either it will auto resize to fit with that number. You can do any size, but I suggest 50x50-100x100.
