Animating on Tapas?

[EpithetSoup]

So ive been wandering around tapas for quite some time and ive noticed that some comics here are gifs resulting in them having movement. I'm actually interested in trying to make some gif comics too, but the problem is I don't know of any programs for making comic gifs. Any suggestions on what's available?

A software that I've used, which is also free, is Fire Alpaca. I've known people to do any editing in it's sister software Medibang Paint Pro for most coloring, lines and other details. Both of these have been my go to.

As for other animation programs I know there's Pencil 2D, an open source animation software also free. Krita has an animation feature, it's also free but I'm not sure if the animation feature is out of beta (i've also heard it works better on mac than windows).

If you're in for spending money on animation software I hear Adobe animate is good but I've also heard some positive reviews of Toon Boom and TV Paint Development.

I'm also aware of Clip Studio Paint having added an animation feature somewhat recently but no experience on it functions.

I'm certain there are some other good ones especially a good bundle of freebies but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head Hope it helps!

If you don't want to learn an entirely different program to animate, I recommend using http://gifmaker.org/ which allows you to upload a series of images and turn it into a gif. It's pretty good if gifs aren't going to be recurrent in your comic.

I use GIMP now, which is free, can animate gifs well enough, and overall a pretty good image editor, but honestly, there are probably better animation softwares out there.
