JavaScript GIF encoding librar

JavaScript GIF encoder that runs in your browser.

Uses typed arrays and web workers to render each frame in the background, it's really fast!

Demo - http://jnordberg.github.io/gif.js/

Works in browsers supporting: Web Workers, File API and Typed Arrays

Include gif.js found in dist/ in your page. Also make sure to have gif.worker.js in the same location.

var gif = new GIF({ workers: 2, quality: 10 }); // add an image element gif.addFrame(imageElement); // or a canvas element gif.addFrame(canvasElement, {delay: 200}); // or copy the pixels from a canvas context gif.addFrame(ctx, {copy: true}); gif.on('finished', function(blob) { window.open(URL.createObjectURL(blob)); }); gif.render(); Options

Options can be passed to the constructor or using the setOptions method.

If width or height is null image size will be deteremined by first frame added.
