Edit

See every frame — and how it depends on the others

Open a GIF and the frame list shows each frame with its delay, 🔑 for full images and Δ for delta frames. Change a delay, set the loop, delete a frame or convert it to a full image. Press ▶ Play to see the result with your edited timing before you save.

Create

Make a new GIF from images

Click 🎬 New from images (or drop PNG, JPEG or WebP files on the window). Drag the frames into order, set the delay and loop, and click Create GIF. The new GIF opens right away, so you can keep editing it.

Arrange

Insert, duplicate, drag — without breaking anything

Most GIFs online are frame-optimized: each frame only stores what changed. Move or remove one and the rest falls apart in most editors. GIFmeta replays your new order against the original and rebuilds exactly the frames that need it, so every frame still looks the way it did.

➕

Insert images

Add a title card, a logo or an end frame. Button, I, or drop the files on the window.

📑

Duplicate

Hold a moment longer: D copies the frame right after itself.

🔀

Re-order

Drag the ⠿ handle or use Alt + arrows. Reverse a whole GIF in seconds.

🗑️

Delete safely

Dependent frames are rebuilt automatically; the delay moves to the previous frame.

`Alt + ↑ / ↓`	Move the frame up / down
`Space`	Play / pause
`D`	Duplicate the frame
`I`	Insert images after the frame
`⌫`	Delete (or restore) the frame
