Animated GIF

AnimatedGif is a high performance .NET library for reading and creating animated GIFs, inspired by ShareX. It replaces the default System.Windows.Media.GifBitmapEncoder to create GIFs from .NET more easily.

How to use

Add to your Project

Install-Package AnimatedGif

or download manually on NuGet

Creating a GIF

Create a GIF with the filename "mygif.gif" and a 33ms delay between frames (~30fps). Use 16ms for 60fps and so on.

using (var gif = AnimatedGif.Create("mygif.gif", 33))
{
    var img = Image.FromFile("myimage.png");
    gif.AddFrame(img, delay: -1, quality: GifQuality.Bit8);
}

If you don't want to write to a File, create a new AnimatedGifCreator instance directly. The constructor takes a Stream.
