Draw and Create GIF

There are multiple online apps out there whose developers create an offline version to cater to the needs of potential users. One of them is Draw and Create GIF, a lightweight utility that can turn a drawing into a GIF animation without a lot of hassle.

The application is easily installed, and, after a few minutes, you are presented with the desktop edition of what seems to be an online tool. The GUI is exactly the same as with the browser-based app, sporting an identical layout and the same toolset.

The name of Draw and Create GIF says it all: the application records all the actions you perform while drawing, allowing you to save the outcome as a GIF animation on your computer.

You are presented with a blank canvas that allows you to freely draw using the available tools. You get predefined filling and backgrounds with custom opacity, and you can draw rounded and dotted outlines. Draw and Create GIF comes with simple selection tools that allow you to quickly manipulate all the elements on the drawing pad.

Thanks to the brush tool, you can freely draw onto the canvas, while the geometrical shapes and the image frames help you enrich your design. Triangles, circles, squares, lines and custom shapes can be all integrated into your drawing. Text boxes can also be inserted into the design.

The upper timeline allows you to view all your actions and their sequence is practically recorded, so that you can easily save the drawing history as a GIF animation. Alternatively, the application also features a tool for taking screenshots of the drawing and saving them to your PC.

Draw and Create GIF bundles a collection of typical drawing tools, such as brushes, shapes, images, backgrounds, lines and images, but it is not just a Paint-like utility. All the steps you take into creating a drawing can be transformed into a GIF animation and saved to your PC.
