There are of course, lots of animated GIF sofware packages available, many are free. But none are as useful as PowerPoint when it comes to incorporating imagery that you already have on hand. Remember to keep the size of the file down, as Twitter limits animated GIF size to 5MB.

If you want a little more room or sound, remember that you can export your PowerPoint presentation as a video in mp4 format.

You notice some differences between the video and GIF versions of this little social media piece. This is to optimize file size for the animated GIF.

The beauty of creating this in PowerPoint is that it is easily accessible for updating by the client.
