Just so you know, when you play your GIF in Photoshop it will be a lot slower than the final product, so don't worry. On the bottom you should have the Timeline Display, which only shows you the frames of the GIF and gives you the option to play the GIF. On the right you should have your Layers Display which will show you all the GIF layers and any additional layers, faces, and text you add. Before we get started I want to familiarize you with the layout. The best pictures are expressive and well lit. For example, if you have a GIF seen from a top angle, you will want a picture to match that angle. When choosing pictures make sure that they are taken from the correct perspective. This is hardest because not only do you need new pictures as the face size changes, but you will have to edit the pictures that are covered up so that the don't block what's behind them (I will also briefly explain this in the 4th step). The face in this GIF changes size and/orientation and is covered up at certain points. This is harder because as the face size increases or decrease you will need new copies of the picture to match the size (I'll briefly explain this in 4th step).Įxample 3. The face in this GIF changes size and/or orientation, but is never covered up. This is the easiest because you will only need one picture per face and you will only be translating it around.Įxample 2. The face in this GIF never changes size or orientation and is never covered up by anything.
Above are the corresponding GIFs for each example.Įxample 1. Below I've described GIFs that I've created from easiest to hardest to work with. There are many websites, such as Giphy, which are dedicated to GIFs but I prefer to simply search for my GIFs in google images. The GIF you choose should depend on the amount of work you want to do. Alternatively, you can use Gimp although I have not personally tried it.

For the rest of you this is going to be a bit trickier to understand at first, but once you can wrap your head around it you will be pros in no time! In this Instructables I don't spend too much time explaining how GIFs work, as the goal of this tutorial is to show you how to alter them and not create them, so if you find yourself scratching your head here are some excellent resources to get some base knowledge: We'll briefly cover how to do more complicated head replacements further below.įor people who already know how to make GIFs and understand their mechanics in Photoshop, this Instructables is going to be a breeze. Because the faces don't change size or get covered by anything, swapping heads is extremely easy in this GIF. In the example above, I've taken an Oppa Gangnum Style GIF and replaced the heads with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Chris Pratt. In this Instructables I'm going to show you how to take your favorite GIFs and swap some hilarious heads onto them. What better way to show people how to alter GIFs than with GIFs!?
