You can try the GIMP. Each layer is a animation frame when you export project as a GIF.

Example instruction.

As a CLI there is gifsicle or imagemagick.

As a gui maybe gifcurry, tupitube or some other 2d animation tool https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2D_animation_software

ffmpeg is my go to for things like this but I can never remember the necessary incantation on the command line. Fortunately ChatGPT tends to get you most of the way there a lot of the time, I would normally asks something like the following and start from there:

Op this is the guide you need! Iโ€™ll leave my link up as comparison in quality of the guide a knowledgable human produces vs that predicted by an ml model

I use gifski

It's designed to squeeze the best quality possible out of the ancient format that is gif
