Export a still-image GIF or animated GIF (Windows only)

Animated GIF is best suited for solid‑color motion graphics at a small frame size, such as an animated company logo. It works better for synthetic graphics than for live‑action video. It is convenient because it is viewable in most web browsers without requiring a plug-in, but you cannot include audio in an animated GIF file. Export animated GIF the same way you do any other file. Make sure that you choose Animated GIF as the File Type.

Note: For best results, test completed Animated GIF files in a web browser before distributing.
  1. Choose File > Export > Media.
  2. In the Export Settings dialog box, select GIF or Animated GIF from the Format menu.
  3. Click OK.
