The best way to catch the eyes of your visitor is to make your banners eye-catching. In this training, I will show you how you can do this quick and easy, with free to use online programs.
The programs I have used to make the next animated banners:
Gifmaker.me (Great program, but not https, delete your images when you are finished)
1. Find a suitable image on Pxhere or create a banner on DesignWizard or Canva.
This one is found and made on DesignWizard
2. Upload your image to Pixlr.editor.
- Cut the button
- Make background transparent and save as PNG
- Upload original image again
- Erase the button
- Add your saved button as a layer

Here are more ideas and examples for moving banners.
Banner 1 The sky is the limit
For the moving seagull, I used 7 images and loaded them up 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,6,5,4,3,2
To get this movement you have to replace the free transformation every time a little bit and save the image.
*Note – You might have to deactivate the EWWW image optimizer plugin to let the gif files load full size.
Banner 2 Let your business grow
For this image, I used 18 images
Banner 3 Launch rocket your business
This gif is made of 23 images (17 from the previous gif and 5 extra)
