I know how to make GIF's like this:

But that's from one of my daily games that are in progress.

I'm not sure how to make GIF's from a set-up position or something.

Yeah, I know but is it possible to fir me to create a GIF with my own moves and set-up position?

If not, then thanks anyway.

That link explained how you can do it from any PGN. So you could use an analysis board to create your position/game/game fragment and use that PGN in the gif maker.

So is that the only way to create a GIF?

@xiaotonghuang9 Yea, I don’t think you can create a gif without a game u already played

For the site and not just from a game you or someone else played, I'm pretty sure that's it.
