A way to upload a gif to Flickr in OSX
A GIF image is not officially supported in Flickr. Whenever you want to upload a gif into Flickr, it would give an error message back to you. There however would be a way to upload it. I'm not sure whether it's a bug or not, but it seems to work by now.
Here a way I want to show you is kinda a detour. The Key is PhotoScape X. It doesn't matter which software you used in order to make a gif in a first step. Once it goes through PhotoScape X after no matter how you made it, it can be oddly and interestingly possible to upload it to Flickr.
For example, I've made a gif file in two ways. One is from directly images by virtue of PhotoScape X. Another is first making a move via Screeny or QuickTime Player, and then a gif via GIFBrewery. If it is from a movie, then I use PhotoScape X even though it doesn't seem to be necessary. Everything I made has been succeeded in uploading it onto Flickr.
Long story short, if you use PhotoScape X at the end, then it is possible to upload it onto Flickr.
FYI) The reader should be reminded that
- GIF Brewery is a commercial software. It costs you $4.99.
- PhotoScape X is a free software and the latest version # is 2.2. But I recommend PhotoScape X 1.8 having no commercial appearing. The others including an AppStore for Mac version keep showing commercial.
- PhotoScape X is highly beneficial to keep in you OSX, though it looks quite out of an OSX native app style.
