This online utility lets you find the length of the GIF animation. It shows how long the GIF lasts, the total number of frames, the duration of each frame, and whether the animation loops endlessly or a set number of times. You can also preview the GIF in-browser, play it from the first frame to the last, or pause it on any specific frame. Created by GIF experts from team Browserling.

This is a browser-based tool that measures the length of any GIF file. When you upload a GIF, the tool reads its internal structure and shows how long the animation lasts and how it is built. First, the tool outputs the number of frames. A GIF file is basically a container that holds a series of static images that appear one after another very quickly, creating the illusion of movement. Static GIFs have the minimum length – just one frame. Animated GIFs usually contain from a few dozen to several hundred frames. The tool also shows the time length of the GIF. This is the total time needed to play the whole sequence of frames once, shown in seconds and milliseconds (or even minutes for very long GIFs). Most GIFs do not stop after one cycle of the animation; they usually loop endlessly. That is why the tool also shows the loop count. This value is stored inside the GIF file's metadata and controls how many times the animation repeats. A value of "0" means the GIF loops forever, while any other number shows the exact number of repeats before the animation stops on the last frame. The tool also lists the delay of every frame, which tells you how long each frame stays on the screen before switching to the next one. You can play any animated GIF in the online preview or stop it on a specific frame using the options under the preview window. For deeper technical information about the GIF file, including its color palette and dimensions, you can use the Analyze a GIF tool. Gifabulous!

In this example, we examine a simple looping GIF of lettuce rotating in a bowl. The tool plays the animation in the preview window and reports that the sequence contains 25 frames. Each frame is displayed with an identical delay of 200ms, resulting in a total animation duration of 5 seconds. (Source: Pexels.)
This example focuses on a sprite animation of Sisilia, a character from Metal Slug Attack. It consists of 48 frames and runs for 1 second and 800 milliseconds per full loop. The sequence uses varying delays (30ms, 40ms, and 50ms), which helps create the illusion of acceleration and deceleration in the character's movements. (Source: SNK.)
In this example, we find the length of a static GIF file. Since the file contains only one frame, it represents the shortest possible form of a GIF, with no animation and a total duration of 0 seconds. (Source: Pexels.)
