You can use After Effects or Photoshop and make a .gif file. I love animated avatars. Maybe I need to make one for myself))

@johnberg @gusoliveira_ @rupal_saini it's amazing guys you should check it out. The founder has done some great job. You should also check on how he founded photopea and do all the working alone without hiring any employee
@rupal_saini Photopea is awesome, and since its open-sourced, there are tons of tutorial videos on YT.
