About
Not every GIF is set to loop infinitely — some play once and freeze, others repeat a fixed number of times. This tool reads the loop count stored in your GIF's metadata so you know exactly what to expect. Handy when you are troubleshooting a GIF that stops unexpectedly or preparing assets that need specific loop behavior.
Features
Reads the Netscape Application Extension block to report the exact loop value
Clearly tells you whether the GIF loops forever, plays once, or repeats a set number of times
Completely private — the file never leaves your browser
Works on any valid GIF file, including very old or non-standard ones
Guide
Upload your GIF by dropping it in or browsing your files
The loop count is displayed immediately — 0 means infinite looping, any other number means that many repeats
Use this info to decide if you need to change the loop setting with another tool
Pro Tips
A loop count of 0 means infinite — if your GIF stops playing, the issue is likely with the viewer, not the file
Some older GIF editors forget to set the loop extension, which causes the animation to play only once in most browsers
If you need to change the loop count, use the loop count changer tool after verifying the current value here
