Release 001
A more complete frame inspection workspace
This release makes large GIFs easier to inspect, brings related playback controls together, and adds a confirmation step before exporting a frame.
Viewing
- Large GIF canvases now scale down automatically so the complete image stays visible without changing its aspect ratio.
- The new theater mode widens the complete player and gives the preview more room on desktop.
- Small GIFs remain at their original size in the standard player and can use the larger theater view when needed.
Playback
- Loop, reverse, and theater controls now use compact icons with hover and keyboard-focus tooltips.
- Reverse playback begins at zero progress and keeps time moving from left to right while frames play backward.
- The progress bar updates the main preview while scrubbing and synchronizes the film strip after release.
Frames and export
- The film strip supports horizontal wheel scrolling without changing the selected frame.
- Jump to accepts a frame number for direct navigation through longer animations.
- Frame export now opens a preview card where the PNG file name can be edited before download.
Opening GIFs
- Upload a GIF from the file picker, drag it directly onto the preview, or paste an animated GIF file from the clipboard.
- A public-domain Muybridge animation loads by default so every player control can be tried immediately.
- All decoding and frame export continue to run locally in the browser without uploading the GIF.
