Imageio.mimsave(os.path.join('movie.gif'), images, duration = 0.04) # modify duration as neededĪs one member mentioned above, imageio is a great way to do this. Images = list(map(lambda filename: imageio.imread(filename), filenames)) If filename.endswith( ('.jpeg', '.png', '.gif') ):įilenames.sort() # this iteration technique has no built in order, so sort the frames Path = '/Users/myusername/Desktop/Pics/' # on Mac: right click on a folder, hold down option, and click 'copy as pathname' Note: you'll want to make sure your frames have some sort of index in the filename so they can be sorted, otherwise you'll have no way of knowing where the GIF starts or ends import imageio Install imageio like this: python3 -m pip install imageio

I came across this post and none of the solutions worked, so here is my solution that does workġ) No explicit solution as to how the duration is modifiedĢ) No solution for the out of order directory iteration, which is essential for GIFsģ) No explanation of how to install imageio for python 3 Shrinking the images reduced the size: size = (150,150) #images.extend(reversed(images)) #infinit loop will go backwards and forwards. # Numpy images of other types are expected to have values between 0 and 255. # Numpy images of type float should have pixels between 0 and 1. # images should be a list of numpy arrays of PIL images. # Write an animated gif from the specified images. # writeGif(filename, images, duration=0.1, loops=0, dither=1) Here is the code I used: _author_ = 'Robert'įile_names = sorted((fn for fn in os.listdir('.') if fn.endswith('.png'))) It did seem to double the file size though.Ģ6 110kb PNG files, I expected 26*110kb = 2860kb, but my_gif.GIF was 5.7mbĪlso because the GIF was 8bit, the nice png's became a little fuzzy in the GIF I used images2gif.py which was easy to use.
