A GIF maker with four fades
Fade in starts on the background color and the picture appears.
Fade out starts on the picture and it fades away.
Fade in and out does both in one loop.
Crossfade blends the first picture into a second one and back. A Second image field shows up when you pick it. The GIF takes the shape of the first picture. A second picture with a different shape is fitted inside, with the background color in the gaps.
Fade settings
Background is the color the picture fades from and to. White suits most pages. Black gives a film-style fade. A GIF can't hold half-transparent pixels, so the fade always runs against a color.
Speed is how long one fade takes, from 2.4 seconds down to 0.3.
Hold time is how long the full picture stays on screen, up to 3 seconds. In a crossfade each picture is held that long.
Tips for a fading GIF
The GIF loops forever, so a fade in jumps back to the background and starts again. For a loop with no jump, use Fade in and out or a crossfade. Large pictures are scaled down to 400 px on the longest side.
