Ok, so there’s this site here [https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/](https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/)

That can import your images to your Arcade game, but does it have a similar site, tool for animations?

If you don’t mind installing stuff on your computer (namely Python) you can convert GIFs into MakeCode Arcade animations:

> **[GitHub - UnsignedArduino/Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade: Converts an image or a GIF...](https://github.com/UnsignedArduino/Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade)**
>
> Converts an image or a GIF to a MakeCode Arcade image / array! - GitHub - UnsignedArduino/Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade: Converts an image or a GIF to a MakeCode Arcade image / array!

> Note that this tools requires at least Python 3.9 on a computer, and command line knowledge is highly recommended!
