Gif Viewer program?

SoildSnake · 29 Mar 2012 at 21:51

I have tried FastStone, windows live and windows image viewer, which only plays one frame of the gif; i want full animation, full screen etc. I tried XnView which does these but does not continuously play the file, it only plays it once and then stops. Mozilla plays them continuously but obviously have no slide show/full screen mode. Any ideas?

Erm, Well you can use Adobe Fireworks to view a gif frame by frame if thats the sort of thing your looking for.

You can always open a .Gif file with Google Chrome or Internet explorer and it will play the file.

This, replaced the windows image viewer with it because of the lack of animated gif support, and it works great as well as being tiny.

I am currently trying Irfan view; does anyone know how to make it zoom to full screen by default and continuously play the one gif in the slideshow until i click next because these two things are what I'm after, thanks

If by "zoom to fullscreen" you're not including up-scaling a smaller image to fit the screen then try Faststone Image Viewer. I prefer it to Irfanview as I find it works far better in fullscreen mode and when dealing with larger images.

Edit: In Faststone Image Viewer you can actually up-scale smaller images to fill the screen too.

1) Fastone does upscale/zoom but it does not actually play the file; just the first "image" when in slide show any one know how to resolve this?

Perhaps it's a funky .gif? Mine is playing the gifs I've tested fine. :\
