How to create a GIF from a Powtoon slide – Powtoon Business

You can export any single slide from your Powtoon as an animated GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file. GIFs are useful for marketing banners, training snippets, internal communications, and social sharing — and they loop automatically when played.

An animated GIF file can be used for a wide variety of purposes, among them:

Marketing: showcasing a product; playing an ad or banner
Training: explaining a process or how-to
Internal Comms: highlighting company culture; sharing sneak peeks of upcoming events
Personal: sending everyday or holiday greetings; sharing memes

Once you've created your Powtoon, generating a GIF file is quick and easy. For best results, note the following before starting out:

As each GIF file is generated from one slide, make sure that all the content you want to include in your GIF is on that slide.
The GIF file can be up to 6 seconds.
As a GIF file includes animation but not sound, there is no need to add a soundtrack or voiceover to the Powtoon slide.
If you want your GIF file to include text, make sure that the text font size is at least 80 pt.
The GIF file, when played, will be looped.

To create a GIF from a slide:

In the slide panel, select the slide that you want to save as a GIF.

In the toolbar, click Export.

Select Download animated GIF.

By default, the GIF begins from the beginning of the slide and extends for 6 seconds. If you would like the GIF to include a different part of the scene, adjust the start and end points of the slider accordingly.
