## Overview

gif-generator is a single-page browser app for turning images or video into an animated GIF. The main workflow is to add media, extract video frames if needed, arrange and time frames, optionally compose them with a transparent PNG layout, then export. Boomerang playback and export quality settings are additional capabilities. The README documents these relationships, but no source excerpts were provided, so the graph uses only documented behavior and the single supported source path.

Main entry points: [`index.html`](https://github.com/ibagaturiya/gif-generator/blob/main/index.html) (Filmstrip editor)
