PRO TIP: When exporting a GIF from Photoshop, it is important to make sure that the file size is set to 100% and the colors are set to 256. If the file size is set to anything other than 100%, the GIF will be distorted. Additionally, if the colors are set to anything other than 256, the GIF will be dithered and may appear fuzzy.

Conclusion:

GIFs are a great way to communicate images with others online. Photoshop makes it easy to export a GIF from your image, so you can share your creation with others easily.
