How do I make an existing animated GIF loop repeatedly?
You can use ImageMagick. You just run:
convert -delay 20 -loop 0 nonloopingImage.gif loopingImage.gif
You may need to install ImageMagick first.
If you use brew you can: brew install imagemagick from the terminal, then you can run the convert command.
Solution involving the Terminal :
- Download the sources of Gifsicle
- Unpack the sources and go to the unpacked directory
- Do
./configure --disable-gifview --disable-gifdiff - Do
make - Do
cd src - And finally do
./gifsicle -bl /path/to/image.gif
Solutions using GUI tools (I didn't test any them !):
- You can try GifBuilder (requires Rosetta to work with Snow Leopard).
- Pixen also seems to be a Gif Editor.
GIMP can edit animated GIFs; open the image in that then save it again. You will be asked a few questions, and one of the available options is to loop forever.
It is apparently possible, or even easy, to install GIMP on OS X, but I can't say I've done it,
