GIF Player

Most people probably do not consider a GIF player to be a necessity, since these animations can easily be opened with any image viewer or web browser. However, these applications do not allow you to have a great deal of control over playback.

GIF Player is a lightweight program that provides you with an alternative method of enjoying GIF animations. It makes it possible to navigate between frames, play, pause and export content to image files.

This application is a great choice for users who need to manage multiple GIF files at the same time. It allows you to create a playlist by importing individual items or an entire folder, and you can then play specific animations with a single mouse click.

You can switch between Play and Playlist view at any time, and the application can even display the current playlist in a sidebar, creating space for the GIF player while also enabling you to keep track of the imported items.

The program provides you with a set of controls that should remind you of a standard video player. You can start and stop playback at any time, as well as navigate to a certain frame.

Speaking of frames, GIF Player allows you to extract the current one and export it to a JPG, PNG or BMP file. Alternatively, you can just copy the image to the clipboard.

GIF Player is a modern-looking application that novices should find to be quite accessible, as it is quite simple to find all the available functions.

You can specify which interface elements should be displayed or hidden, make the main application window transparent and also keep it on top of all other windows.

To sum up, GIF Player is a fairly straightforward software solution that offers a lot of interesting features related to viewing and managing GIF files, and it also allows you to export frames.
