I have been searching on google on how to combine multiple PNG/JPG to an animated GIF using EXCEL VBA but found none. Can someone direct me in the right direction if this is possible?
Basically i have already done the function to read png/jpg files from a specific file but require a function to combine (with a seconds) and save as animated GIF.
Thanks in advance.
Let me first make a general comment: Why not use dedicated tools, like https://ezgif.com/maker etc.
Surely, you can nail a board with scisors, but it's better idea to use a hammer for this task.
So give a good reason why it shall be done with VBA

Kaper,
I fully understand what you mean and thanks for trying to assist. I can implement the above with any other application, but the requirement was using VBA excel native
While I fully agree with the 'taking a doctors' reflex hammer to demolish a nuclear power station' comment - it's much better to use a sledge hammer to crack a nut but VBA is versatile, it may not be the best way but there usually is a way.
Unfortunately, this is just to merge two JPGs so can only be used to get an idea of how, perhaps, you might be able to create an animated GIF....

I already saw and used this.
What it actually does is combine them to one image showing them all at once side by side, and not animate a gif

With any image manipulation I always use Imagemagick (free). It a command line to that also has an ActiveX interface. Here is an article on how to do it. VBA can't do it.

Hi,
It seems you have a rule that wont allow me to link to the other websites. When i am trying to link the other websites i posted the below error occurs
"You are not allowed to post any kinds of links, images or videos until you post a few times."
The rule says this:
The OR clause is there because we know that new members cannot post links.3. Questions that are cross-posted to other web forums must contain links to those posts on those forums or a comment to tell us where else the question has been asked.
We do not ask you to do things that you can't do. We also assume that you HAVE read the rules page, since you ticked a box to agree to those rules when you joined.
I hope this is clear.
