2. Free PowerPoint Animation Sources by Other Creators

These were the exclusive free PowerPoint animations we had much fun making and were eager to share. Now, let’s move on to the other sources that we recommend when you’re in search of royalty-free animations or gifs under the Fair Use copyright law. We’ll point out the specific terms of each source in its respective category.

📝 Please keep in mind that non-profit and educational projects are always a safe option when using free resources.

2.1. Free Social Media Animations from Cliply

Cliply has a huge collection of premium animated icons and other animations. Depending on if you purchase freebies, premium, or business resources, the licenses and uses vary. This is why make sure to check out the license on every resource you decide to download.

However, today we’re all about free animations. That’s why we’ve selected some great-looking social media icon animations for your social media slides in PowerPoint.

YouTube Icon Free Animation

  • Files : MOV, MP4, PNG, GIF
  • Height : Up to 1080 px
  • License : Free for personal, nonprofit, and educational use.
  • Terms : Attribution not required but appreciated

  • Terms : Attribution not required

Instagram Icon Free Animation

Facebook icon free animation, 2.2. fair use free gifs on giphy.

Aside from the free PowerPoint animations, you can also benefit from using live-action GIFs.  Giphy is one of the databases that offer an endless library of GIFs based on movies, tv-shows, videos, and everything else. You will find out everything viral and the latest memes made into GIFs. Now, the question is. Is it legal to use a free GIF that has a few seconds from a scene from an obviously copyrighted movie or video?

📝  Just like every other creative work, GIFs are copyright material. However . They are more complicated as there is no legal way to license the use of GIFs for the purposes of commercial use. With this being said, in most cases, GIFs fall under the grey area of Fair Use .

With this in mind, you will find out many brands use such GIFs for their blog posts, ads, and social media. You can also use such materials in your PowerPoint presentations to make your visuals more fun and engaging. Especially if you’re an educator and wish to make your lesson more exciting for your student. Memes will save us all! 🙂

Below are some great examples from Giphy great for presentational purposes.

Simpson’s Free Presentation GIF

Cartman free presentation gif, 2.3. fair use free gifs on tenor.

Similar to Giphy,  Tenor also offers a huge database of GIF images on every topic. This database benefits from an entire community of users uploading GIFs on a daily basis so there’s something for everyone.

For example, here’s how to make your cats listen to you and watch your presentation.

Thursday Laser Pointer GIF

Cartoon science presentation gif, 2.4. generating free animated gifs for presentations by motionelements.

And the last source, something we stumbled on recently, is MotionElements . This is a royalty-free marketplace in Asia for stock media where we found a curious way to make presentation GIFs. It’s not free PowerPoint animations but gives an equally nice interaction and life to a presentation.

Their  free animated gifs category  has various few-seconds videos that you can turn into GIFs. When you click a video, you can select which moment from it you’d like as a GIF. Once you’re ready, you can choose to save the GIF in three different sizes.

  • Requirements: Downloading freebies requires registration (no credit card info required unless you want to download Premium resources)
  • License: Royalty-Free │ Safe for Commercial Use
  • Available Gif Sizes from Videos: Small (256 x 144 px), Medium (480 x 270 px), Large ( 640 x 360 px)

Below are a few examples of GIFs we’ve made from MotionElement’s videos to try out the GIF-maker.

11 Animated PowerPoint Templates With Interactive Features [To Edit and Download]

Written by: Orana Velarde

animated powerpoint - header

Animated presentations help grab the attention of viewers more than static ones can. And they can be especially helpful when you're giving a virtual or Zoom presentation and need to keep an online audience engaged.

To help you make the most of your time on stage or a screen, use animated PowerPoint templates in your content to add a new angle to your visuals. Slide decks with animated features work well for webinars, step-by-step video tutorials or a trends report full of charts and graphs.

Even if you created a presentation in PowerPoint previously, make your animated PowerPoint slides better by editing them right inside Visme. Upload existing PowerPoints into your Visme account, then add animated and interactive features like hotspots, links to other slides in the same deck, plus plenty of creative animations.

Visme also offers hundreds of animated presentation templates right inside our tool so that you can say goodbye to PowerPoint once and for all.

In this post, we’ve gathered our favorite animated slide deck templates for you to edit and download. There are templates for all types of projects, from business proposals to pitch decks. 

Keep scrolling to find your favorite. If you don’t, you can always use the Visme Brand Wizard to create ideal presentation slides for your brand.

But before you begin, check out our quick 5-minute tutorial video to learn how to create your next presentation in Visme.

5 Tips for Creating Animations & Transitions in PowerPoint

Adding animation to your PowerPoint slideshows can greatly enhance the experience you offer through your presentation. If you’re new to PowerPoint, follow these tips to get started with animations.

1. Transition vs Object Animations

One of the first things you need to be aware of when using PowerPoint animations is the difference between transition animations and object animations.

On PowerPoint, you can animate each object you add to your slides. While this can be useful when presenting key points in a presentation, you should try to keep object animations to a minimum.

You can also add transition animations to your slides. These animations help create smoother transitions between slides.

2. Time It Perfectly

Each and every animation you add in PowerPoint can be customized to your preference by setting times for the duration of the animation as well as adding delays.

It’s up to you to experiment with different settings to find the right time and delays for your animations. Try to keep animations short and sweet.

3. Stack Multiple Animations

Another useful feature of PowerPoint animations is the ability to stack multiple animations for objects. For example, you can add both entrance and exit animations for each object on your slide by stacking different animation effects.

Stacking animations can drastically increase the duration of your slideshow presentations so use this feature only when necessary.

4. Automatic vs Controlled Animations

Controlled animations offer a great advantage when you’re delivering specific types of presentations like product reveals and feature showcases. For example, if you want to talk about key points in your speech, you can use controlled animations to reveal those points one at a time upon your mouse click or using a remote.

You can also set your animations to play automatically so they flow through your slide presentations without having to click for each slide to start.

5. Keep It Simple

Overall, you should try to keep animations to a minimum and avoid using the more flashy animations in your presentations. For example, it’s perfectly fine to add a fade-in transition effect to your slides. However, adding flashing and bouncing animations may hurt your reputation as a professional.

Stick to the simple and minimal animations to make your presentations more entertaining and easier to look at.

Samsung now sells 1tb microsd cards, want to go next-level in linux advanced terms explained, quick links, table of contents.

Want a great way to share your Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow on social media, your company intranet, or a blog? You can create an animated GIF of your PowerPoint presentation and share it with the world.

If you have PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 on Windows or Mac, creating an animated GIF is a piece of cake. Since the steps differ slightly, we'll list them separately so that you can jump right to the platform you need.

Create an Animated GIF in PowerPoint on Windows

Create an animated gif in powerpoint on mac, notes on your animated gif.

Open your PowerPoint slideshow on your Windows computer and click File > Export.

Click File, Export

Under Export, choose "Create an Animated GIF."

Click Create an Animated GIF

To the right, select the quality in the drop-down list at the top. It's set to medium by default, but you can choose small, large, or extra large if you like.

Select the image quality

Optionally, you can check the box for "Make Background Transparent."

By default, the Seconds to Spend on Each Slide is set to one second. This refers to a minimum number of seconds per slide. If you have animations that are longer than the minimum, they will be included. Transitions between slides do not count toward this minimum. You can use the arrows to increase the number of seconds or enter a number in the box.

You can include all slides in your presentation, or a certain range of Slides, using the arrows or the number boxes.

Set the seconds per slide and slide numbers

With everything set, click "Create GIF." You should now be able to see your new presentation GIF in the location you chose.

Click Create GIF

Open your presentation in PowerPoint for Mac and click File > Export from the menu bar.

Click File, Export

In the Export window, choose a location in which to save the file. You can rename it if you like, and optionally, add tags. If you want to save it online, click "Online Locations" and pick your Place.

Choose a name and location

In the File Format drop-down list, select "Animated GIF."

Click File Format and pick Animated GIF

The Image Quality is set to medium by default, but you can pick small, large, or extra large if you prefer. If you want a transparent background, check that box next to Background.

Select the image quality

Another default setting is the Seconds Spent on Each Slide, which is one second. Like on Windows, this refers to a minimum duration spent on each slide, in which animations are included, and transitions don't count toward the minimum. You can adjust this by using the arrows or by entering a number of seconds in that box.

You can use all slides in your presentation, or a specific range of Slides, using the arrows or the number boxes.

Set the seconds per slide and slide numbers

When you're ready, click "Export." Then, head to the location where you saved the file and grab your GIF.

Click Export

Here are just a few things to keep in mind for your animated GIF.

  • The finished GIF will continuously loop. This is not currently an adjustable setting.
  • Hidden slides will not be included in the GIF. Be sure to unhide those slides  first if you want them in the GIF.
  • Media like videos or other GIFs, animations, and transitions will be included in the GIF.

Hopefully, this handy Microsoft PowerPoint tip helps you share your presentation quickly and easily wherever you like. You can also save a slide as an image  if you'd like to give that a try!

GIFs and videos have many features in common, yet there are a few differences. For example, GIFs have a small file size, which gives them an advantage over videos. However, each pixel within a GIF can have 256 colors, which makes GIFs appear in lower resolution than videos.

GIFs vs. Videos

GIFs Videos

3. Where to find GIFs?

Among the largest providers of GIFs is the online database Giphy . GIFs can be shared and saved here. Giphy offers its own GIF search, which is also integrated into Whatsapp Messenger. Another provider for GIFs is Tenor . Here, you can also find countless GIFs on various topics. Note : However, caution is advised with online providers for GIFs, because in case of a commercial use of GIFs copyright can be violated. A better and also safer alternative is therefore to create your own GIFs.

4. Create GIFs in PowerPoint

GIFs can be easily created in PowerPoint. Note: If you set transitions between slides, they will be exported as well. For a smooth transition between the slides, you can use for example the PowerPoint transition "Morph". This can be found under Transitions > Morph. For the Morph effect, however, you need at least two slides with the same element. In our example we have chosen no transition, so that the Thank You lettering jumps around slightly and looks more alive.

  • The export settings can be found on the side. By selecting the box "Make background transparent" you can export a transparent GIF. Otherwise the background of the GIF corresponds to the background of the slide. In addition, you can determine the display duration of the individual slides. Since in our example we want to create a fast moving GIF we have selected a time of 00.10 seconds per slide. Below that you can limit the number of slides to be exported in the GIF.

5. Insert GIFs in PowerPoint

In order to insert an already existing GIF into a presentation, you follow these steps.

  • Click Insert and the GIF will be inserted on the selected slide.

6. Useful GIFs for presentations

We have created a PowerPoint with useful GIFs for your next presentation. In the presentation you will find slides with royalty-free GIFs:

  • Business Presentation GIFs
  • Thank you GIFs
  • Closing slides GIFs

Download presentation for free

What are GIFS?

The abbreviation GIF stands for the English term Graphics Interchange Format. GIF files can generate moving images that constantly repeat themselves.

How can I insert GIFs into PowerPoint?

  • Select the slide where you want to insert the GIF.
  • Click on the tab Insert and then on Images .
  • Navigate to the location of the GIF and select Insert .

How do I create GIFs in PowerPoint?

  • Create the slides you want to save as a GIF.
  • Click File > Export and select Create Animated GIF .
  • Click on Create GIF to export and save the GIF.

How to Customize Animated PowerPoint Templates

We've talked a lot about PPT animation templates in this article. As you can see, they're effective ways to save time and use the best animations that aren't native to PowerPoint.

This section will show you that PowerPoint animation templates are the starting point. They're totally customizable! 

Herov1 Animated PowerPoint template

We're going to customize three slides in three steps each. Let's get started:

1. The Testimonial Slide

Slide 34 testimonial

Slide 34 is a great way to show user feedback. Testimonials share potential clients that what you offer is proven to help others. This one's clean and it's easy to customize. Here's how:

  • Add an image . Click on the image placeholder, then browse to a replacement.
  • Update text . Include a user's testimonial to really drive the user experience to a potential customer.
  • Slim down the text . We always coach presenters to reduce the total amount of text on a slide. 

What they Say finished

2. The Animated Chart

Animated chart PPTX

We're always advising our readers to use charts and graphs to show data. And as we shared in a tip earlier, animation takes a chart to the next level. Here's how to customize slide 14, an animated chart.

  • Update data . Right-click the existing chart and choose  Edit Data  to open an embedded Excel window. Then, type over the placeholder data and your chart will update in realtime.
  • Add your image . The default slide is designed to show a candidate's skill set. But there's no reason that you couldn't show other data in action. Either way, click on the image placeholder and browse to a replacement.
  • Update text . Each text box is waiting for your copy. All you've got to do is type inside and fill in your details. Get creative with how to show your data.

Finished slide 14

3. The Three Box Portfolio

Threebox Portfolio

A portfolio is always a chance to put your best work front-and-center. Slide 19 is a great way to show your three favorite works with enough animation. Let's customize it:

  • Update portfolio pieces . Click on the image placeholders and browse to the images or screenshots to add your favorite portfolio items.
  • Update the branding . Click on any of the shapes on this slide, then choose the  Format > Shape Fill  dropdown ribbon option to choose a color that matches your preference.
  • Update the text . As always, it only takes a few seconds to type over the text placeholders to add your specifics. Give your portfolio items a brief, one-line description.

5 Quick PowerPoint Animation Tips for 2023

Here's what you've already learned:

  • There are free animated PPT templates out there. Sometimes, they're "good enough" for your presentation.
  • Premium PowerPoint animation templates give you smoother animations.

No matter what type of template you choose, it helps to have tips to work with animated PowerPoint templates. For these tips, we'll be working with the premium template,  HEXA - PowerPoint Presentation Template .

Here are five of our top tips for presenters of all skill levels:

1. Adjust PowerPoint Animation Sequencing

Arguably the most important part is sequencing your animations correctly. After all, you don't want to show the punchline of a joke first, right?

To adjust your animation sequencing, make sure you're on the  Animations tab. Click  Animation Pane  on the ribbon. Each box on the right side corresponds to the order of an object's animation. Drag-and-drop to sequence them in the proper order. 

Sequence PPTX Animations

2. Use Animations Sparingly

This tip might come as a surprise. An entire article centered around animations, yet now we're suggesting that you skip most animations?

The point of animation is to stand out from the rest of the content in your presentation. If you start adding animation to every element, you're likely to overwhelm an audience.

PPTX too many animations

Less is more. Use only one to two key animations per slide to keep your slides readable.

3. Adjust an Animation's Duration

An animation's  duration  refers to the speed at which it plays. Adjust it by selecting an object, then making sure you're on the  Animations  panel.

Change the  Duration  time box, shown in the upper right corner of the screenshot below. Click  Preview  to play it.

Animation duration 2

4. Add Animations to Infographics

More presenters than ever use infographics  to explain those complex ideas, visually.

Herein lies the power of PowerPoint animations. When you build an infographic to explain ideas, you're leveraging graphics to explain ideas. Your audience is sure to appreciate that.

To take the idea to the next level, use animations to stage the infographic onto the slide in steps. Showing the content one step at a time makes it easier to understand. 

Learn more about infographics with the help of our guide below:

free gif animation for powerpoint presentation

5. Use Slide Transitions

The focus of this tutorial was to add animations or motion that affect slide objects. There's another type of animation that many presenters use: slide transitions. 

Slide transitions are the animations that play to transform one slide into the next. They're a good way to re-capture the audience's attention and shift to a new talking point.

To add a slide transition, jump to the  Transitions  tab and choose an animation effect. You'll instantly see a preview. Try to stick to simple animations, much like the tips we've already shared for object animations.

Add slide transitions

Common PowerPoint Animation Questions Answered (FAQ)

Animated PowerPoint templates are a huge advantage. They save you the time of creating everything on a blank canvas. But you might still have questions about how to add your PowerPoint animations.

Here are five of the most common questions we receive from beginners while they work on mastering animation in PowerPoint:

1. Does Animation Work in PowerPoint Online?

Too often, the browser-based versions of apps are watered down and don't work with key features. You might be wondering about animation in PowerPoint Online. After all, there's no sense in spending time animating if they simply don't play.

The good news is that PowerPoint animations work in PowerPoint Online. Almost all animations are supported and work well. Learn more about PowerPoint Online with the help of our guide:

2. Are PowerPoint Animated Templates Customizable?

We're major proponents of using animated PowerPoint templates to save time. It's the best way to use professional designs without becoming a designer yourself.

Too many beginners think that templates are restrictive. They don't realize that a template is the beginning of a presentation.

You've seen a few slides customized above in our walkthrough section. Check out our feature-length guide to customize PowerPoint templates:

3. Can You Animate Data in PowerPoint?

Data is great. Showing data in cluttered, overly numeric slides? Not so great. That's why skilled presenters opt for charts and graphs.

Flat data comes to life with charts and graphs. It's easier to spot trends and infer meaning with the help of a chart.

Take charting to the next level with chart animations. Make sure to read our guide to learn chart animations in 60 seconds:

4. Can You Animate PowerPoint Backgrounds?

Traditionally, presenters thought about animating the basics: text, images, and slides . But modern design trends show us that background animations are cool.

Moving background for PowerPoint are fun and a great change of pace. They support animations much like every other object.

How To Create and Use Animated GIF Files in PowerPoint Tutorial

Mastering GIF Animation in PowerPoint: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Are you tired of mundane and static PowerPoint presentations? Do you want to take your slides to the next level and captivate your audience with eye-catching animations? If so, you’re in the right place. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to create and use GIF animation files in PowerPoint to add an extra layer of dynamism to your presentations.

Watch the Full GIF Animation in PowerPoint Tutorial Here:

Before we dive into the nitty-gritty details, let’s discuss why you might want to incorporate GIF files in your PowerPoint presentations.

The Power of GIF Animations in PowerPoint

In the world of presentations, visuals and animations play a significant role in conveying your message effectively. GIFs, short for Graphics Interchange Format, are a popular and versatile medium for adding motion and life to your slides. They can be used to:

  • Highlight Key Points : GIF animations draw attention to specific content, making your message more memorable.
  • Explain Concepts : GIFs can simplify complex concepts and processes by showing them in action.
  • Engage Your Audience : Dynamic visuals keep your audience engaged and interested in your presentation.

Now that you understand the importance of GIF animations, let’s delve into the step-by-step tutorial.

Creating and Using GIF Animation Files in PowerPoint

Step 1: Preparing Your Slide

The first step is to create a slide where you want to use GIF animations. You can include other elements and objects on the slide, but for this tutorial, we’ll focus on the animation part.

Step 2: Applying Animation Effects

In our example, we’ve used rounded corner rectangles to create text elements on the screen. To animate these elements, we apply the “Wipe” animation effect with a short duration, making them appear from the right. To achieve the desired effect of having them appear one by one, we set the time duration to 0.10 seconds and choose “After Previous.”

Step 3: Exporting the Animation as a GIF

To export the animation as a GIF, go to the “File” menu, select “Export,” and choose “Create Animated GIF.” Make sure to check “Make Background Transparent” to remove any unwanted backgrounds. Select the quality you desire and click “Create GIF.”

Step 4: Inserting the GIF into Your Main Presentation

Once the GIF is created, return to your main presentation and insert the GIF. It will play infinitely during the slideshow, allowing the effect to automatically repeat.

Step 5: Enhancing Your Presentation

Repeat the same process for other animations in your presentation, such as the music notes in our example. Create separate GIFs and insert them into your main presentation. This technique ensures your animations play continuously, capturing your audience’s attention.

GIF animations are a fantastic tool to elevate your PowerPoint presentations and engage your audience effectively. By following the steps outlined in this tutorial, you can create and use GIF animation files seamlessly in your slides.

For a more in-depth and visual understanding, we highly recommend watching our full video tutorial. It provides a step-by-step walkthrough, making it easier to grasp the concept and execute it flawlessly in your presentations.

So, what are you waiting for? Give your PowerPoint presentations a creative twist, and watch your audience’s interest and engagement levels soar. Don’t forget to like, share, and comment on the video, and subscribe to our channel for more upcoming tutorial videos.

Thanks for reading, and have a great time enhancing your PowerPoint skills!
