Virtually every popular image editing software title like Windows
Paint, PaintShop Pro or Adobe Photoshop comes with an option to create
animated GIF images. Yet, according to software company Creabit, most regular people and even some pros find
these built-in tools very counter-intuitive and almost impossible to
use.

Creabit offers Advanced GIF Animator: a stand-alone and full-cycle gif animation
tool that has been released over five years ago and enjoyed over a
million downloads since. The “secret” of the software is that it takes
a rather complex process of creating animated GIF images and splits
into simple steps, so anyone can do it. Further more, the program has
many “banner friendly” features, like automatic tag creation (maps for
tag in HTML), GIF-file size optimization and download time estimates.
Advanced GIF Animator can be used alone or together with Windows Paint,
PaintShop Pro or Adobe Photoshop. The program supports BMP, JPEG, TIFF,
AVI, ICO, and Windows Metafiles for making animated GIF file. AVI
import/export options are available. Plus, Advanced GIF Animator can be
used to create images, manage frames, make animation loops, re-size
images and optimize color palette.
While the program is extremely simple and consumes very little system
resources (in fact it runs even on Windows 95 PCs), one should not look
at Advanced GIF Animator as a tool for amateurs only. Advanced GIF
Animator is used by over 10000 web design professionals and was
employed in various interesting projects, including creation of a
40-minute cartoon movie.
Advanced GIF Animator is distributed electronically over the Internet; free demo version is available at http://www.gif-animator.com/ for evaluation.
The price of a single copy is 35.00 US Dollars for the Personal License ($50 for the Business License).
Creabit is a small independent software development company
specializing in creating web, graphic and monitoring tools for the
companies and individuals. The company has participated in numerous
trade shows and is very well known among the industry professionals.
Creabit’s bestsellers include Advanced GIF Animator, Advanced Backup
and Advanced HTML Protector.
