What to expect
- Supported inputs
- Animated GIFs.
- What happens
- The frames play forward and then back, without repeating the first or last frame, so the loop has no pause. The GIF loops forever unless you choose a number of plays. The frames are re-encoded once.
- Limits
- The boomerang is nearly twice as long as the GIF, so its file is about twice the size.
Your files stay on your device
Your computer does the work, so the file never has to be uploaded, and that’s also why it’s free: there’s no server time for us to pay for. You don’t need an account, and nothing you make gets a watermark.
“Thanks a lot for such a simple yet powerful tool!”
