What information does the GIF Analyzer show?

It displays dimensions, frame count, file size, frame delays, loop count, color count, and individual frame thumbnails.

Can I use the Analyzer to diagnose a broken GIF?

Yes. The Analyzer shows frame-level details that can reveal corrupt frames, missing data, or unusual delay values causing playback issues.

How do I check the frame rate of a GIF?

The Analyzer shows per-frame delay in milliseconds. Divide 1000 by the delay value to get FPS (e.g., 100ms delay = 10 FPS).

Does the Analyzer modify the GIF?

No. It is read-only. The GIF is parsed and inspected without any modification.

Can I export the analysis report?

You can copy the displayed information manually. A CSV/JSON export feature may be added in a future update.

Why does the Analyzer show more frames than expected?

Some GIFs use hidden sub-frames or micro-frames with very short delays for special effects. These all count as individual frames in the raw data.

What does 'loop count' mean in the Analyzer?

Loop count indicates how many times the animation repeats. A value of 0 typically means infinite loop. Some GIFs have no loop extension, which means they play once.

Can I analyze a GIF URL directly?

Currently only local file upload is supported. Download the GIF to your device first, then upload it to the Analyzer.

What is the color table size?

The color table stores the palette of up to 256 colors used in the GIF. Each frame may have its own local color table or share a global one.

Why do frame dimensions differ from the GIF dimensions?

GIF frames can be smaller than the canvas — they are positioned at a specific offset within the larger canvas. This is called frame patching.
