"UniGif" GIF image decoder for Unity - now available for free on GitHub

I added a new asset on GitHub.
"UniGif" is GIF image decoder for Unity.

UniGif - https://github.com/WestHillApps/UniGif



Get a texture list by decoding a GIF file in runtime.
Supports GIF87a or GIF89a format. (Animation, Transparent, Interlaced, etc)

It is made with Unity4.3.4 (Mac, Win, Android, iOS), work probably also in other versions.

 

Hello WestHill,

Very nice tool!

I have a question about the possible "lock up" in GetTextureList, when does it occur?
I haven't run into any problems yet and I would like to avoid using GetTextureListCoroutine so I would like to know if it's safe to continue using GetTextureList.

Cheers!
David

 

Is there a way to load the gif in the background?
I am working with android and its very slow and the entire scene froze until all gif are downloaded from the internet.
I want to load them from memory but it doesnt find them, it work in the editor.

 

You saved me, thanks!

 

Hello, loved your work! Thanks.
I hope you're still answering to this post.

I'm using your asset to play a gif from StreamingAssets folder and playing perfectly fine. But after getting file data, screen freezes for 10-15 seconds before gif starts playing. Everything freezes. Why? How can I prevent this?

 

I updated UniGif.
Changed the decoding process to coroutine, so please check it.

 

Hey folks, is this still working well in 5.6?

 

It works perhaps.

 

This works in 2017.2 as i got it after getting frustrated with the VideoPlayer API, only drawback is it takes a while to load the GIFs , if i had more knowledge id look into optimizing that process , other than that in 1 hr I set up a test app and got the desired result after wasting 2 goddamn days on the Unity VideoPlayer API path.

So thank you WestHill for this great library and making it available for free.
