Welcome, you who wish to bear the mantle of the Render of GIFs!
gifRender is a simple GIF manipulator. It allows the user to create GIFs from a series of images, while specifying parameters such as frame rate and image size. One may also 'rend' existing GIFs, splitting them up into their component images for easy frame extraction. Additional features may include GIF editing and file conversions. Let gifRender fulfill all your gif needs!
gifRender avails itself to those who desire to create, rend, or otherwise manipulate GIFs. Have a GIF that's just a tad too slow or fast? Like one particular frame of a GIF, but not the rest? Want to make a GIF slideshow out of your family pictures? Look no further than gifRender!
I decided to create gifRender as a natural continuation of my previous project, a media gallery program equipped with a tagging system and search functionality. One of the planned features for this project was a simple image, GIF, and/or video editing tool. It ended up falling outside the scope of the project, so I decided this would be a good opportunity to create a new project that would focus on this feature, starting with GIFs.
