Mike Hauser Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I wanted to add a GIF to a blog (done that) but now would like to expand the canvas yet still have the animation effect. How can I do that in my favorite program, Paint.net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdnnoob Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you have Simon Brown's .agif filetype plugin installed, you can change the file extension of your animated gif from .gif to .agif, then open it in paint.net. This will open each frame on its own layer. Once you have the file opened, simply resize the canvas (ctrl+shift+r) however you please Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Mike Hauser Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 To pdnnoob (not sure if that's a surname or given to you by your parents), I did as you suggested and thanks. Haven't gotten it to work yet but have no time to look at it in a thorough manner right now. Will get back to you when I can better describe the problem. Thanks again, Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFX Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Compuserv gifs are a bit quirky as anything added to them can change or even degrade the image quality when saved. For text, it has to be added to all the frames in the exact same location which in itself is a pain in the ..... You're probably better off just resizing the image through CSS / HTML code if it's just the size you want to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a real issue for you then you should use ImAgif.FileType. Because this plugin allows you to define a Foreground layer which will be added to all frames automatically. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and yes it's always been that way with text and gifs, for me at least. I just used Benetton movie maker or GIMP but both have their own issues lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
