2

Preview the animation in the main panel.

Scroll the frame list to inspect each frame rectangle and delay.

Common Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the GIF upload to a server?
No. The GIF file is previewed and parsed locally in your browser.
Can this show every frame?
The viewer shows metadata for every frame. Use GIF Splitter if you need PNG exports of frames.
What does loop forever mean?
A Netscape loop count of 0 means the animation is intended to repeat indefinitely.
Does this edit GIFs?
No. This page focuses on viewing and inspecting GIF files.
