For : a short, practical way in is to decide where the animation will be used (web avatar, social post, an app, or a short video). That choice determines which tools and export formats make sense. already raised the right question about software; start by matching tool capability to the end use rather than grabbing the fanciest program first.

Three common approaches and when to pick them:

  • Draw or photograph each step (good for hand-drawn looks and stop‑motion). Use an app that offers onion‑skin and frame management so you can see previous/next frames while you work.
  • Create motion with keyframes and easing (good for smooth motion and motion graphics). These let you move, scale, rotate, or change opacity without drawing every step.
  • Build vector/JSON animations for scalable, small-file results in apps or on the web (exportable from motion tools with a runtime player).

A compact workflow to get a first result:

  1. Plan a very short sequence (3–6 changes) so you learn the loop basics.
  2. Set canvas size and make a simple test animation to confirm timing.
  3. Refine artwork and motion using onion‑skin or the timeline.
  4. Export to the format suited to your goal and test it in the place you’ll publish.
    Quick optimization tips: keep dimensions modest, trim identical frames or redundant layers, and pick an export that supports transparency if needed.

Useful places to download tools and read quick tutorials: Krita, Blender, Synfig, and LottieFiles for vector/JSON workflows. For browser/image format guidance see MDN’s image formats page: Image types on MDN.

Using what software?

A crude way would be similar to making a slide show using an internet browser of which there are many examples on the web.

do you mean animated gifs? They can be made using a lot of standard photosoftware. Or you can build your own. Basically they are a set of still pictures with a timer in them to change the one showing to give the illusion of moving pictures. But then again all "moving pictures" are the same, just a series of stills showing one after the other. Broadcast standard is normally 24 frames per second (but can vary up to 30).
