Steps

Create an Animated Image with GIMP Step 1

Step 1. Open GIMP, and create a new image using File> New

The size of the image depends on your purpose. Advertising banners range from 60 to 120 pixels high and 400 to 800 pixels wide. Different website programs and banner exchange systems will list their own requirements. For buttons, the height is generally no more than 40 pixels, and the width is usually less than 300 pixels. Separators, accents, widgets, etc. they have no restrictions, except maybe due to how much hard drive you have and how much bandwidth you will need to upload them.
In this guide, we will select 200 pixels for the width and 20 pixels for the height, click OK. GIMP will give you a small, white rectangle.
