Doesn't work anymore, try to open the gif in the little window and instantly close said little window, and the extension get turned off
Just says "not a valid gif file"
How to use it?
On most gifs it just says "Not a valid gif file".
Amazing tool, helps me work with videos recorded as GIFs created in ScreenToGIF by our QA Engineer at work. GIFs are necessary because they are supported in Jira much better than WebM or other video formats.
Works great! Open source too! I was trying to view a GIF I saved locally so I had to go and give the extension permission to access file URLs. Before that the extension kept saying "Not a valid GIF file". I realised my mistake
edit: excitement was short lived. Extension stopped working - everything I try to open is "not a valid gif file." I LOVE this extension! I'm an artist, and when I need to draw from an animated gif, I can just use this extention to pause/select the frames I need. (Instead of downloading & opening Photoshop and dealing with the layers menu.) Thank you *so much* for making this! A genuine Technology Good. (I was even able to download a .gifv file, which chrome insisted on converting to webp.)

Worked for me. Right click on a gif, select "GIF Scrubber" from the menu, and it opens.

Very useful extension which works as described. Thank you! There is just one important problem: Larger gifs are always animated scaled-down to about half of my screen size with a lot of empty space around the image! When viewing animated GUI actions it is very hard or impossible to see the details. I am using standard full-HD resolution, Windows 10, Chrome 102

Being able to jump to any frame and play from there already put this extension in a league of its own. Features include playing x8 faster/slower, frame skipping, downloading and exploding gift into frames (haven't tried this one yet). Would be a 5* if not for the "must open a new tab for the player" and the unresizable player that is always larger than my whole screen while the gif inside is tiny in comparision.
nice!
nice!
As a iOS developer almost all setup is done via the GUI instead of coding it directly, which means most tutorials are filled with gifs showing how to do things. They can often be 1+ min and if you blink and miss something you would normally have to wait another minute until it looped around. This makes it so much easier!

Working as of the time of this review on the latest Brave (chrome variant) version, may be a little finicky and hard to use at first but it does work and works great.

I would give this full stars, however upon writing this review. This extension no longer works properly. When you right click a GIF, the window that pops up is only showing "download" & "render" which do nothing. RIP to a marvelous add-on

Works great in the latest version of Chrome and Chromium variants (I'm using Vivaldi)... I think the confusion is about how it works... The extension doesn't alter the GIF's in situ (that is to say, on the page you're viewing them), instead, right-click anywhere over the GIF, and select "GIF Scrubber" from the context menu. A new window will popup with just the GIF, and a load of controls and a timeline scrubber. There are also a few options that can be changed by either clicking "Options" at the top of the pop-up GIF Player, or, alternatively, by right-clicking on the GIF Scrubber icon next to the address bar, and selecting "Options". Hope this helps!

Writing this as of Feb 2021; for some reason this extention doesnt seem to work anymore? It used to work beautifully, but it now only displays "Download" and "Render" with two circles underneath. I have uninatalled and reinstalled and messed with the settings to no avail... This was such a useful app although niche, so I'd really appreciate any help.

Every single gif I try to use this extension with gives me an error: not a valid gif file. Is there a setting I'm missing? I will update the review if I can ever get it to work.
