Use the Google Slides Publish feature
If you only plan to share a link to the GIF, you can use the Google Slides Publish feature. With it, you can set the slide interval and have the slideshow automatically restart when it finishes.
- Go to the File menu and select Share > Publish to web.
- In the pop-up window, pick the Auto-advance slides timing.
- Check the boxes beneath for Start slideshow as soon as the player loads and Restart the slideshow after the last slide.
- Optionally, expand the Published content & settings section to set up restrictions.
- Click Publish and then copy the link to the slideshow.
You can then paste the link wherever you like.

Use a Google Slides extension
While the above method works fine in some situations, it may not be suitable for inserting a GIF file in a post, chat, or email. In this case, consider a third-party Google Slides extension for converting the presentation to a GIF.
You can search the Google Marketplace, but here are a couple of add-ons to check out.
Creator Studio
With Creator Studio for Google Slides, you can transform your presentation into a GIF in just a few steps. Choose the output width in pixels and the slide interval in seconds. Preview the GIF or download it and you’re set.
You can use Creator Studio for free and look into a paid upgrade for additional features.
Slides to Video
While this next extension called Slides to Video is limited, it’s still worth trying out. You can set a default duration for all slides or customize the timing per slide, which is a nice option.
You can use Slides to Video with three slides for your GIF using the free plan, but if you like the GIF quality, you can look at the paid upgrade.
