Method for several images

1. Create or open a document in PhotoCraft.

2. Import all your images so that each one is on a separate layer:

   • Image 1 → Layer 1
   • Image 2 → Layer 2
   • Image 3 → Layer 3
   • etc.

3. Make sure all images have the same canvas size and are correctly aligned.

4. Open:
   Window → Timeline

5. Create a timeline if one does not already exist.

6. Arrange the images in sequence on the timeline so that only the required image is visible during each section.

For example, with four images:

• 0–1 sec → Image 1
• 1–2 sec → Image 2
• 2–3 sec → Image 3
• 3–4 sec → Image 4

7. Set the document frame rate / duration in the Timeline. PhotoCraft currently uses one global timeline frame rate, rather than a separate delay for every GIF frame. PhotoCraft

8. Press Play in the Timeline to preview the sequence.

9. When the animation is correct, choose:

File → Export → Render Video…

10. Select Animated GIF / GIF as the output format and export the file. PhotoCraft’s Render Video function can create animated GIFs. PhotoCraft

For example, if you want 5 images, each displayed for 1 second, the animation would be:

Image 1 → Image 2 → Image 3 → Image 4 → Image 5 → repeat

If you specifically want the much easier workflow “one layer = one GIF frame”, Photopea currently makes that process simpler than PhotoCraft.
