in5 Animated GIF Maker Extension

The in5 Animated GIF Maker lets you create animated GIFs (and videos) using Adobe InDesign.

Take advantage of InDesign's easy-to-use Animation and Timing tools to create animated images for social media (Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter) and email newsletters.

The GIF Maker is free to use, but a license is required for in5. More info: http://in5.ajar.pro

Note: GIFs only support 256 colors, and in an animated GIF that color palette is shared across all of the frames. So photographic images will look grainy (and they do in all GIFs).

v2 now supports recording of images and adds built-in optimization.

v3 lets you export video so that you can open in Photoshop and get precious control of your colors before exporting to an animated GIF from there.

Jenny Lynn Walding (ID: 0000001a43fcfb63) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/23/2022 If you were looking to use this for display ads, keep searching. All my assets indexed came in less than 100k (with animations) via InDesign with in5 extension. As soon as I 'recorded' the gif, it was in the 1.5mb range... eons away from where it needs to be. No matter of trial and error, I could not get it anywhere near the 150k cap. I am not saying it's not a worthwhile extension into InDesign, but for display ads, it did not work for me.

Jennifer Thomas (ID: 000000d40ff7b82f) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/17/2022 I can create the GIF, but the 'demo' watermark is still showing on the final saved version, so completely unusable.

Debra Heiser (ID: 0000008bef9a4572) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/17/2020 in5 gif maker creates a gif of 19MB! Unusable for email templates or social media. I cannot download the latest version in inDesign 2021. It takes me to a blank tab labeled “Untitled.” I cannot even save the 19MB version after using the in5 plugin in chrome (which I have removed and replaced twice). The “save” button does nothing and goes nowhere. No one available for immediate help, 1-3 business days. I'll have to recreate in photoshop. If this can't be resolved, definitely want a refund.

Ahna R (ID: 000000aab796dbc5) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 08/17/2020 Le concept a l'air intéressant et original, mais lorsque j'ajoute l'extension, un téléchargement est demandé et il ne marche pas malgré plusieurs tentative où le fichier n'arrive pas à s'installer (il ne se passe plus rien au moment de la finalisation). J'ai l'impression que l'extension a besoin de Adobe InDesign, le problème vient peut-être de là car je suis sur un Chromebook où Adobe InDesign n'est pas disponible.

Ivan Merckx (ID: 00000007cbb18031) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/09/2020 I made an Indesign file with animation. Exported with in5 as a banner. Openen in my browser, looks great, but then converted it with in5 animated GIF maker. The GIF file it generates looks awfull. I cannot use this ... I am working with the trial version of in5, just to discover it is usefull for me. Don't know this has something to do with the awfull conversion.
