How do you insert a Picture Into an animation?

@ausername Hey, welcome to the Pencil2D forums.

To insert a picture / image you have to do the following:

  1. Go to File
  2. Import
  3. Import Image…

  1. A window will open, so you can explore your hard drive and find the picture you want to insert.

Bear in mind that you can only import images with a .JPG or PNG file type. Pencil does not currenly accept GIF files.

If you’re not sure what file type your image is: On Windows you can right click on the file > go to properties > On the popup window below the name you’ll see the file type. On Mac it will be displayed on your finder.

Hope this helps you get started. If you have another question, don’t hesitate to ask :slight_smile:

Thanks!
