About
GIF frame rate is a bit quirky — unlike video, each frame can have its own delay. This tool calculates the effective FPS by reading every frame delay in your GIF and averaging them. It is perfect for diagnosing playback issues or figuring out the original timing before you make edits.
Features
Calculates effective FPS from actual per-frame delay values — not just an estimate
Flags inconsistent frame delays so you can spot timing issues quickly
Processes the GIF entirely in your browser with no server involvement
Handles any GIF regardless of frame count or complexity
Guide
Upload your GIF by dropping it in or selecting it from your device
The calculated frame rate and per-frame delay info appear instantly
Review the results to understand your animation's timing before making any changes
Pro Tips
Most screen-recorded GIFs run at 10-15 FPS; if yours reads much lower, the delays might be set too high
Uneven frame rates often cause that characteristic GIF stutter — this tool helps you identify the problem frames
Use this before and after adjusting speed to confirm your changes had the intended effect
