A library to read animated GIF images , animated PNG images and animated WEBP images, usable in code.

When displaying in the UI, consider using AnimatedImage.Avalonia or AnimatedImage.Wpf instead of this library.

How to use

This library abstracts pixel read/write operations, requiring you to implement them yourself. For implementations using SkiaSharp, please refer to BitmapFaceFactory and BitmapFace.

The following code opens a GIF image and renders its frames.

// Read image file
using var imageStream = File.Open("/path/to/image.gif", FileMode.Open);
FrameRenderer.TryCreate(imageStream, new BitmapFaceFactory(), out var renderer);

// If you want to draw an image by frame index.
renderer.ProcessFrame(9);

// If you want to draw an image by time span.
renderer.ProcessFrame(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(34));

// Get the rendererd image.
var bitmapface = (BitmapFace)renderer.Current;
SKBitmap image = bitmapface.Bitmap;

WebP supporting

To use WebP, AnimatedImage.Native library is required.

Features

  • Animates GIF images in a normal Image control; no need to use a specific control
  • Takes actual frame duration into account
  • Repeat behavior can be specified; if unspecified, the repeat count from the GIF metadata is used
  • Notification when the animation completes, in case you need to do something after the animation
  • Animation preview in design mode (must be enabled explicitly)
  • Support for controlling the animation manually (pause/resume/seek)
