In this post I will show you how to combine multiple images into a single image/gif, so that you can post all your pranks and shitposts in a **single image** (as a gif). Then, you can post that one image in a thread and all your pranks and shitposts will be able to be seen in that single post without having to spam multiple images/gifs all over the place.<br><br>This is super useful not just for pranks and shitposts, but for actually useful things like when you have a whole bunch of "reaction images" and you want to share them with the board, this format is better for threads than the mozilla mass image upload, because the image will be a single, easily accessible image, whereas Mozilla mass image uploader breaks links all the time, and it makes them into "spoilers" (like when you click the little arrow and it opens the image) which is just annoying as fuck when you want to look at all of the images at once.<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 1: Get the images you want to combine together.**<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 2: Convert each image to PNG.**<br><br>​<br><br>To convert an image into a PNG, you can use an image editor like Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc.<br><br>In GIMP, you can use the action "copy visible" by going to **Edit > Copy Visible** this will let you copy not just the image, but the image with its **transparent background**.<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 3: Combine the images together into a single image.**<br><br>​<br><br>​<br><br>To combine the images, you can use an image editor like Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc.<br><br>In GIMP, you can use the action "copy visible" by going to **Edit > Copy Visible** this will let you copy not just the image, but the image with its **transparent background**. Then, you can paste the image with the transparent background into your combined image, by clicking **Edit > Paste**. To select a specific layer, just right-click on the layer to select it, then right-click and select "add new layer" to add a new layer, or right-click on a layer and select "delete layer" to delete a layer.<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 4: Save the combined image as a PNG.**<br><br>​<br><br>To save the combined image as a PNG, you can use an image editor like Paint.NET, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, etc.<br><br>In GIMP, you can use the action "Export As" by going to **File > Export** this will let you save the combined image as a PNG. Make sure to select the "PNG" option in the "select file type" dropdown, and make sure to select "Keep layers" and not "merge layers" to keep the image layers intact.<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 5: Convert the PNG into a GIF.**<br><br>​<br><br>To convert a PNG into a GIF, you can use an online tool or a software like GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.<br><br>In GIMP, you can use the action "Export As" by going to **File > Export** this will let you save the combined image as a GIF.

In GIMP, you can use the action "Export As" by going to **File > Export** this will let you save the animated GIF as a video. Make sure to select the "MP4" option in the "select file type" dropdown.<br><br>​<br><br>**Step 9: Upload the video to a hosting platform.**<br><br>​<br><br>To upload the video to a hosting platform, you can use a website like YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, etc.<br><br>​<br><br>**That's it!**<br><br>That's how to make your own thread-image gallery! With this process, you can create a single image/gif that contains all your pranks and shitposts, and post it in a thread. This is super useful not just for pranks and shitposts, but for actually useful things like when you have a whole bunch of "reaction images" and you want to share them with the board, this format is better for threads than the mozilla mass image uploader, because the image will be a single, easily accessible image, whereas Mozilla mass image uploader breaks links all the time, and it makes them into "spoilers" (like when you click the little arrow and it opens the image) which is just annoying as fuck when you want to look at all of the images at once.
