Easy to use
Drag and drop images from Windows Explorer to add to the current animation, or import existing frames from another animation. Replace existing frame images, or duplicate frames. Reorder frames, or remove frames you no longer want. Flip or mirror frames. Need to change the attributes of several frames? No problem, just select them all and set the new attribute.

Palette Support
If you have many similar images in an animation, you can create a global palette that images share, helping to reduce the size of your animation. You can generate palettes based on the contents of one or more frames in the animation, or load your own external palette. Gif Animator also provides export options - whenever you can see a colour palette on the screen, there's an option to export it for your needs. Learn more

Image editing
While Gif Animator doesn't currently allow you to directly edit images, it makes it extremely easy to edit them in your favourite image editor. Just select the frame to modify, choose Edit, and it will be opened up in the default external editor for your system, or any custom editor you define. When you've finished making changes, return to Gif Animator and it will prompt if you want to accept them. Learn more
