The program allows you to create full-fledged animated GIF files, optimize their size, scale graphics to create GIF files of the required size, or create animated banners of standard sizes. Unlike many utilities of a similar purpose, it has a simple interface and allows you to perform tasks quickly and without unnecessary actions.
The program allows you to open and use files of the following types as frames for the created animation: GIF, AVI, BMP, JPEG, PNG, PSD. Can work with icons (ICO), cursors (CUR) and animated cursors (ANI). It also provides generation of HTML code for placing a GIF file on a web page.
