THE TOOLS
A considered toolset.
Practical controls for animation, transparency and composition. These tools are included in the editor trial and membership; they do not require an AI generation purchase.

Motion
Change frame durations, playback speed and order. Duplicate, delete, reverse, trim and create a boomerang. Scrub the timeline to inspect a transition.
Transparency
Erase or restore pixels by hand; apply a stroke to the current frame, selected frames or all frames. Use color keying for a uniform background and alpha refinement for edge cleanup.
Composition
Add text or image overlays. Set position, scale, rotation, opacity and layer order. Resize, crop, flip, rotate, trim empty space, adjust colors and apply image effects.
Delivery
Choose GIF for broad animation support or APNG for full alpha. Export stills, a PNG frame sequence ZIP, or a sprite atlas with a JSON manifest.
AI extensions
Connect your existing TIG account from AI tools. GIF Workspace uses that same TIG Balance for supported AI jobs. Review and approve the dollar price in TIG before each paid run.
