Gif View Master

Image format files, like many other media types, have an increasing variety and volume, and in that context, the choice between do-it-all media handling software and dedicated, single-format solutions can be quite a paradigm in users’ struggle. Built specifically for working with GIF images, Gif View Master will provide users with a single-purpose package, for visualizing image files in the said format.

Gif View Master features a bare interface, which will only accommodate the added file and the two on-screen controls. Speaking of adding files, the application will allow users to rely on the drag-and-drop techniques, which means that efficiency-wise this is an advantage.

However, only single file inputs are supported, meaning that you will be forced to visualize files only one at a time. Although not such a major gripe, this could be bothersome if you’re working with large numbers of files, in an iterative manner.

The main features that the application relies upon in order to offer users some degree of control over the loaded content are its scale and speed sliders. Using these, one will be able to easily adjust the way in which the GIF is being displayed.

The simplicity of Gif View Master is both good and bad, at the same time. Those who only need a simple preview tool for images will most likely appreciate its ease of use. However, those seeking just a bit more extra functionality might be left wanting craving for more.

Give this app a try, if you need a basic tool to preview your GIFs with. Without any bells and whistles, Gif View Master manages to provide only the essential features for doing so.
