They now pervade everything from popular culture to ad campaigns. For the next-gen of designers and developers, knowing your way around motion graphics and having a good knowledge of the basics of creating a GIF is important. In this article, we’ll discuss GIFs app development on the Android platform. It’s worth knowing what challenges you can expect during GIF app development, and how to handle them.The decoding process contains multiple aforementioned steps.

After 60 days another one was exposed.
