Hey guys, I need help. My project, FruitOS (https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/558664479/) needs an animated thumbnail. I watched a tutorial on youtube but it needed a bunch of things I didn't even have, like a GIF maker and Notepad++. Is there an easy way to make an animated thumbnail without a GIF or Notepad++?

Thanks in advance

Basically, all you have to do is to bookmark the page, then go into any scratch project and open the bookmark again. You'll then be prompted to upload an image from your device.

I did that, but it just opened a new tab with that page

Go there!

See that link, the blue link?

Bookmark the blue link by dragging it to the bookmark bar.

Go to a scratch project and click on what you just bookmarked.

Then, share it!

You now have an animated thumbnail!
