File Support | GIF Files

Are there any Plans for Implementing GIFs with Photo AI or Gigapixel AI?

No plans yet, I’m afraid! You may be able to work with GIFs if you separate the frames into an image sequence, though, and process as a batch. Then you can re-combine the frames into a GIF after processing.

This morning I was eagerly anticipating attempting to add frames to some GIF files through frame interpolation and discovered that Topaz Labs isn’t capable of doing that. Is there some reason there are no plans to include GIF among other popular visual file formats for conversion? Apparently I can even alter NUT files with Topaz Labs, but not GIF?

Thank you for your suggestion! The ability to add frames to GIF files through frame interpolation is part of our Ideas section, and it will be reviewed by our development team for possible support in future updates.

I’m not familiar with NUT files or how Photo AI would support them. Could you provide more clarity on what NUT files are and how you envision them being used with Photo AI? This will help us better understand your request.

Apparently, NUT files are a video format developed by MPlayer, FFmpeg, and Libav (NUT File - What is a .nut file and how do I open it?).

Hi there, I’d like to suggest the option to export GIF files via Topaz Video AI. While interpolating them is a neat idea in and of itself, there aren’t a lot of options for GIF creation, especially at a high quality. Having the ability to select a range of frames in the Video AI editor and export them as a GIF file with quality settings would be amazing to have. I get that GIF files are animated images, but Video AI feels more appropriate in this case since GIF’s are often made from video frames. This would also make it easy to create animated previews of a project that’s being worked on to share with others without needing to worry about audio and the file size should be smaller than an actual video file. If this idea could be passed on for consideration(and hopefully implementation) that’d be appreciated.
