This online utility lets you analyze a GIF animation and extract detailed low-level debugging information from it. It prints all available information about a GIF, including its file size, width and height, the total number of frames, colors, loop count, and animation duration. You can also see the properties of individual frames, such as frame delays, frame transparency, and frame disposal flag, as well as print the global and local color palettes.

This is a super useful browser-based GIF debugger that analyzes a GIF file byte-by-byte and outputs all possible information about it. The analyzer breaks a GIF into logical blocks, parses them, and shows the data about each block in text format. The first block is the general GIF information as well as the data from the Logical Screen Descriptor (LSD) block. It contains the main information about the input GIF – GIF file size (in bytes), the total duration of the animation (in seconds), the dimensions of the animation (in pixels), the total number of frames (as integer), the global color table (as a list of indexes and hex colors), as well as the data from the Netscape Loop Block that contains the number of animation repetitions (as an integer). The next block summarizes the information from Graphic Control Extension (GCE) blocks and prints all information about the frame delays (in milliseconds). Using this information, you can immediately see how long each frame is displayed on the screen. The next block outputs all the colors of the global palette in hexadecimal color format together with index positions of each color. The global palette, also known as the Global Color Table (GCT) contains the colors that can be used by all GIF frames if they don't define their own Local Color Table (LCT). The maximum number of colors is 256 and each color uses a unique sequential index value from 0 to 255. Next, you can explore individual GIF frames in more detail. To explore frame data, the program parses the Image Descriptor (ID) blocks. You can specify a frame number (for example "2"), several frame numbers (for example "3, 6"), a range of frame numbers (for example "4-6"), or all frames (the "*" symbol). The ID block contains information about coordinates of the north-west (upper-left) position of the frame and its width and height. Here you can also see the frame delay in milliseconds, its disposal method, as well as the transparency flag of the frame, the transparency color index, and the transparency color. You can also display the Local Color Table (LCT) of the frame as a separate block. If the frame has the LCT, then it uses the color data from it. If there is no LCT, then the frame uses the colors of the GCT. The analyzed GIF can also be observed in the browser and it can be stopped at a specific frame. Gifabulous!

In this example, we output byte-level overview information of a GIF file. We decode and display only the most important bit fields of the GIF header, including the byte count of the GIF file, its width×height dimensions, frame count value, color count value, and repetition count value. We also print information about the frame delays and display a full list of all 256 colors in the global palette. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we're debugging the last frame of an animated GIF of an owl turning its head. We parse the GCE (Graphics Control Extension) and Image Descriptor (ID) blocks of the 40th GIF frame and print the data found in these blocks in text format. The data includes the position and size of the frame, its delay, disposal method, and transparency information. We also print the local color palette (also known as LCT – Local Color Table) of this frame with all 128 color indexes that it defines. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we print the low-level GIF frame details from a Mortal Kombat animation sprite of Sonya Blade's victory pose. The sprite has many transparent regions, so in all eight frames you'll see that "transparent" is "true", as well as the transparency index and transparency color are set. We also display the main information about the GIF and all frame delays. (Source: Midway Games.)
