This online utility lets you determine if any GIF file contains animation or is just a single static frame. It shows how many frames the GIF has, reveals whether the GIF plays endlessly or only once, and calculates how long the animation is. You can also view animated GIFs in the player and pause them on a selected frame by its number. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This is a browser-based tool that determines whether a GIF file is animated or static. The tool analyzes the internal structure of the file and checks how many frames it contains. If the GIF has more than one frame, it is classified as animated. If it contains only a single frame, it is classified as static. In practice, it is not always possible to determine GIF animation by simply looking at it. Some GIF files use extremely long delays between frames (sometimes minutes or even hours), making manual inspection impractical. Other GIFs may appear static because all frames are visually identical, even though the file contains many frames. In some cases, animation changes happen so slowly or subtly that they are easy to miss. The result is shown as a clear visual badge: a green badge indicates an animated GIF, while a red badge indicates a static GIF. Along with the badge, the tool displays detailed information such as the total number of frames, the loop count defined in the file, and the total loop duration from the first frame to the last. The tool also includes built-in player options. You can play the GIF animation, stop it, or display a specific frame by entering its frame number. Gifabulous!

In this example, we upload a GIF of the Iron Fortress vehicle from the Metal Slug series to check whether it is animated or static. The tool immediately displays a green badge, confirming that the GIF is animated. The analysis shows that the file consists of 20 frames and uses an endless loop. By enabling the animation preview option, we can clearly observe subtle movements such as engine vibration and character motion, which confirms the animation visually as well. (Source: SNK.)
This example detects animation in a GIF that appears static at first glance. After uploading a GIF of a mossy tree stump, the tool reports that it is animated, with 20 frames, a loop count of 3, and a total loop duration of over 30 seconds. We enable the GIF player to preview the animation, and after a long delay, a small bird appears, confirming that the file is animated. (Source: Pexels.)
In this example, we analyze a GIF of a pet cat to ensure it is safe to use on platforms that do not support animation. The tool detects only a single frame and displays a red badge indicating that the GIF is static. (Source: Pexels.)
