Slack Gif Creator

Overview

Create custom animated GIFs for Slack workspaces, including celebration GIFs, reaction GIFs, and custom emoji animations. These add personality and fun to team communications.

When to Use

• Celebrating team wins and milestones
• Creating custom emoji reactions
• Building "Ship it!" or "LGTM" animations
• Designing status indicators
• Adding personality to team channels
• Inside jokes and team culture building

Quick Start

1. Choose GIF type (celebration, reaction, status)
2. Select method (PIL/Pillow for simple, moviepy for video)
3. Create frames with animation loop
4. Optimize for Slack (128x128px emoji, <200KB)
5. Upload to workspace

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

def create_shipped_gif(output_path):
    frames = []
    size = (128, 128)

    for i in range(10):
        img = Image.new('RGBA', size, (255, 255, 255, 0))
        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)

        # Pulsing effect
        scale = 0.8 + 0.2 * abs(i - 5) / 5
        font_size = int(20 * scale)

        draw.text((20, 50), "SHIPPED!", fill=(255, 100, 100))
        frames.append(img)

    frames[0].save(output_path, save_all=True, append_images=frames[:],
                   duration=, loop=, transparency=, disposal=)
