One of the most important advantages of OER is the possibility of creating resources in multiple formats - images being one of them.  Either used standalone, or in a sequence as an animation or in combination with text to create powerful picture stories for communication.  With increasing use of ICT in the form of multiple devices, creating and editing and remixing image resources is becoming more and more prevalent.  Availability of free and open source tools for creation and re-purposing of image resources can be important for greater dissemination of image and animation OERs.  This chapter will focus on accessing image repositories, tools for creating image OER, editing image OER, remixing image OER with other formats and publishing.
