Giv

Giv is a lightweight and very user-friendly software solution that was developed to provide you with a simple method of viewing GIF animations on your computer, sparing you from having to resort to heavy programs or browsers for such a simple task.

Context-menu integration

In order to call out the application, you need only right-click a GIF file and select the ‘Open With’ option from the context menu, then click on Giv.
Once your file is displayed by the tool, you can use the buttons on the lower edge of the window to navigate through other GIFs in the same directory or you can pause the animation's rendering.

Open and view GIFs with minimal effort

Graphical Interchange Format, also known as GIF, is an image extension used in particular for animations of just a few seconds in length, commonly found online, on various websites.
Despite it popularity, GIF animations are not supported by all image viewers, so a lot of people resort to using a web browser for viewing them. However, this way, you have no control over the rendering of the GIF, nor can you move from one to the next, as you can with regular pictures.
To spare yourself from these inconveniences, you can choose to work with Giv, a simple GIF viewer that enables you to open your animation from the context menu and even lets you play or stop it with a button press, while its ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’ buttons allow you to also display other GIFs stored in the same folder.

A useful GIF viewer for you to try

All in all, Giv is a handy and practical application that you can rely on for opening Graphical Interchange Format files the quick and easy way, particularly since its impact on your system resources is negligible.
