I have some images saved on my computer, I would like to create a gif using RStudio and later save it on my computer. I do not know where to start.

  • OP, if you just have a collection of images you want to turn into a gif, is there any particular reason why you would not use any of the free online tools for generating gifs or other image-editing software? R is more suitable when you have data and you want to use that to generate a collection of images/plots/tables based on that data. – chemdork123 Jul 22 '20 at 17:31

If the images are in png format, this will work:

png_files <- list.files(path = ".", pattern = ".png", full.names = TRUE)
gifski::gifski(png_files, gif_file = "animation.gif")
