need help on making GIF

[massiveload]

I have numerous snapshots of my homemade video and would very much like to turn it into an animated GIF file. Can anyone please help me out?

Thank you.

I know there are plenty of programs available that you can purchase and they may even be some free ones on line. However, you may just want to go to this address: http://www.gifninja.com/ and use their free online service. I've never done it personally, but it looks simple enough and allows up to 5 images.

Give it a shot and let us know how it works out.

Thank you, hashman. A terrific website but its still very limited to what I want to do with my pics and videos. Is there any free progam that I don't know about?

Or, just google; everything is out there. Just be careful of "freebies", they can sometimes contain gifts that keep on giving.
