Animated GIF


**AnimatedGif** is a high performance .NET library for **reading and creating animated GIFs**, inspired by [ShareX](https://github.com/ShareX/ShareX). It replaces the default `System.Windows.Media.GifBitmapEncoder` to create GIFs from .NET more easily.

[![NuGet](https://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/AnimatedGif.svg)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/AnimatedGif/)



# How to use

## Add to your Project

```nuget

Install-Package AnimatedGif

```

> or download manually [on NuGet](http://www.nuget.org/packages/AnimatedGif/)

## Creating a GIF

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

```cs

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`.
