About

A desktop application for editing GIFs, MP4s, WebMs, and static images. Add image, text, and lens-flare overlay layers with affine transforms (scale, skew, rotation), keyframe animation, and per-frame positioning. Delete and restore frames, undo and redo edits, and export to GIF, MP4, or WebM with audio preservation, or to PNG, JPEG, or WebP stills.

Who publishes this

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • dev.quinnjr.gif-editor claims the domain quinnjr.dev; only its owner can prove that
    publisher:namespace
  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing
    source:unpinned
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    gif-editor:build-options:--share=network
