Whether a GIF repeats is controlled by one small block inside the file, the NETSCAPE2.0 loop extension. GifCraft lets you set it to loop forever, play once, or repeat an exact number of times — and can build a seamless boomerang loop.
Drop the GIF or video.
Choose forever, once, or a count; optionally boomerang.
Make the GIF.
Browsers, Discord and Slack honour the loop count. Some messaging apps and social platforms ignore it and loop everything forever, and some convert GIFs to video on upload. If a “play once” GIF must play once everywhere, send it as an MP4 instead.
No. All processing happens in your browser tab. Your files never leave your device.
It was saved without the loop extension or with a count of 1. Re-export it here with “Forever”.
