gif.js

npm downloads

This library is a modified version of the gif.js for use without additional gif.worker.js. It call Web Workers using blob. Therefore, it can be easily imported in an environment using npm.

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/ (original version)

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

Usage

npm install @dhdbstjr98/gif.js

import GIF from '@dhdbstjr98/gif.js'

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();
