Animated Gif question

I wish to edit and catch a few frames on an Animated Gif, i'm just wondering what's the best software for doing so as Paint Shop Pro which is my primary graphic editing suite doesn't allow me to do so.

Thanks.

I believe Gimp is able to do this.

Re: Animated Gif question

There were a few programs that could do it, sadly none I know of are compatible with Win10.

Even my (free) version of PSP doesn't work well with Win10.

There are a few online ones. E.G. EZGIF.com

Easeus also has a program, but I'm not sure if it is still freeware.

Re: Animated Gif question

I have a very old copy of "Microsoft GIF animator" that can extract single frames to the clipboard. (Tested just now and a single frame imported to Corel Photopaint)

Whether that is available these days I don't know.

Re: Animated Gif question

Gimp is free too, or did you miss that? Does "free download" mean the software is free or just a free limited trial?

Softonic says this about Gimp

Quote:
GNU Image Manipulation Program or GIMP is a free and open-source image editor with features that rival professional photo editing tools
Not once does it say Chasys Draw IES is free open-source.
