GIF Creator Learn

Docs

Create your first project

Use the dashboard, project wizard, and editor to create a first successful GIF.

The main screens

GIF Creator is centered around six main screens:

  • Dashboard
  • New Project
  • Project Details
  • Edit Project
  • Frame Editor
  • Encode Queue
Dashboard showing existing projects
The dashboard is the home screen for searching, filtering, and opening projects.

First successful workflow

  1. Select New Project from the dashboard.
  2. Enter a project name, optional description, tags, and an optional password.
  3. Choose an extraction strategy and a quality preset.
  4. Save the project, then open the editor.
  5. Upload a short recording and wait for frame extraction.
  6. Add at least one blur region or title frame.
  7. Encode the GIF and review the queue.
New project step one
Step one captures project identity, tags, and optional password protection.
New project step two
Step two exposes extraction strategy and tuned quality presets.

How projects are structured

Each project stores:

  • Metadata such as name, description, colour badge, and tags
  • Default quality settings for GIF export
  • The extraction strategy used when frames are generated
  • Optional password protection
  • AI usage totals when AI blur detection is used
  • All exported GIF versions and their metadata

What to show in a quick team demo

If you only have a short window, show this sequence:

  1. Open a project from the dashboard.
  2. Jump into the editor.
  3. Blur a frame.
  4. Encode a version.
  5. Show the queue and project version list.

That path demonstrates the full value chain in under a minute.
