Support
What's the difference between Lite and GifViewer?
Both open the same formats, with folders, slideshow, zoom and every setting. GifViewer, a one-time purchase, adds export to GIF, APNG, PNG and JPEG. They are separate apps: buying GifViewer doesn't change Lite.
Why won't an animated WebP play?
Animated WebP needs macOS 11 or later. On older macOS GifViewer says so and opens the rest of the images.
Can GifViewer open GIFs by default?
Yes. Select a GIF in Finder, choose File → Get Info, pick GifViewer under Open with and click Change All.
Does it change my files?
No. GifViewer only shows images. An export is a new file, saved where you choose.
