: How can I make a transparent PNG object spin from the center in Photoshop for a gif if the object is not a square I've been trying to achieve this for a while now. I need to make (Image

@Courtney577

I think the only way to get the spinner (Image A) to spin at the center is make the spinner a square. You have the artboard a square but when you move the PNG, it does not move based on the artboard but on the center of the spinner.



You will have to move one of the points to fit the edge of the artboard. For this, I made the right part fit to the bottom right corner to hit all 4 sides of a square.



You can see how the axis is now the center of the spinner.

To save as an animated gif, just go to save for web and select gif.



I am not sure how you can spin based off the center of the spinner you made since Photoshop has to transform from the center of the object.



Update - If you want to use another program

You can use a video editing program like Premier or After Effects to rotate the object. You will still need to center the spinner in the artboard before exporting.

I did this in Premier. Just import the file. You will find the rotation options under the effects control panel.

To export, File -> Exoprt -> Media -> Animated GIF
