I would like to create a gif image from the set of BufferedImages. How can I do this? Is there such library in pure Java (ImageMagick is not an option)? I've found Gif4J library but it's not royality-free.

    Try this [gif encoder](http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/2D-Graphics-GUI/AnimatedGifEncoder.htm). **Related Question:** - [Creating Animated-gif with imageio](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/777947/creating-animated-gif-with-imageio) – Emil Mar 18 '11 at 08:59
  • There is also this http://elliot.kroo.net/software/java/GifSequenceWriter/ which seems to work well. – Oliver Coleman May 01 '14 at 06:47
  • [This](https://github.com/dragon66/icafe) link and the wiki examples there will do what you want. You can control the frame rate as well. It's pure Java. You may not even need to use imageio! – dragon66 Sep 19 '14 at 19:47 – dragon66 Oct 28 '15 at 20:04
  • And [this](https://github.com/dragon66/animated-gif-writer) easy to use standalone AnimatedGIFWriter. – dragon66 Nov 02 '15 at 22:01

I just answer a similar question here, but I think that my solution can help.

'ImageIcon' class allows you to load gif animations. I load the image with 'getResource()'. For doing this I normally us URL class to pass the file path. The path does not need to be necessary in a remote machine as the name URL may suggest. 

URL url = This.class.getResource(path);
Icon myImgIcon = new ImageIcon(url);
JLabel imageLbl = new JLabel(myImgIcon);
component.add(imageLbl, BorderLayout.CENTER);

path will be the path of the gif inside of the class folder.

There is an image processing library, akin to Picasso which uses the very same AnimatedGifEncoder class mentioned by Lifelogger- Glide Docs, Glide 

 AnimatedGifEncoder e = new AnimatedGifEncoder();
 e.start(outputFileName);
 e.setDelay(1000);   // 1 frame per sec
 e.addFrame(image1);
 e.addFrame(image2);
 e.finish();
