Description
I am glad that this tutorial has helped everyone create some cute pixel works! As of April 2018 I will be disabling comments on this post as I am not able to give tutorials beyond what is provided. This tutorial is now out of date to the current software of GIMP but a lot of the same general rules still reply. Please check below for an updated tutorial.FOR THE NEWEST VERSION OF GIMP:
I have created another tutorial to help with saving on the new GIMP 2.8 which can be found here: silly-peach.deviantart.com/artβ¦
Saving as animation is different on the new version so please use it if you get stuck! YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO PUT THE WORD (LAYER #)(REPLACE) IN YOUR LAYER NAME! JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY LAYERS ARE IN THE ORDER THAT YOU WANT THEM TO ANIMATE INT!!

I'm confused! When I click 'Save As', no option for a gif comes up! >.< Do you know why this is?

In the new version of gimp you need to go to 'export as' instead of save as for some reason. If that's not the answer then just put '.gif' at the end of the name so you may all is icon1.gif and then it will give you all the gif options

If it's saved as gif and you're sure that you've followed each of these steps, try uploading it and see if it works. A lot of the viewing programs on computers/laptops do not show gifs moving.

Both of your layers are the exact same so it won't move. You have to move one of the layers like it shows in the tutorial. The layers must be different for it to move.

If you don't have the option for making a gif then just add .gif to the end of your image name. So when you save it and you change the name, make sure you put somehting like 'movingicon1.gif' and then save it
