Java GIF Reader

JDeli includes a GIF Reader to read GIF images into Java. The GIF Decoder is written in 100% Java with no dependencies.

Key information:

• 100% Java solution. No dlls or dependencies on native code
• supports gif spec 87a and 89a

Quick start:

JDeli can automatically detect the file type and will use the GIF File Reader

BufferedImage image = JDeli.read(gifImageFile);

or

GifDecoder decoder = new GifDecoder();
BufferedImage image = decoder.read(gifData);

See the full Javadoc.

Performance comparisons:

These figures were generated using jmh (as documented on our blog) with a standard set of images (also documented). They should be easy to replicate if you wish to validate, the code is on GitHub.

The higher the number, the better.
