Ulead GIF Animator - Version 5 Ulead GIF Animator 5 is the latest version of the industry-leading tool for creating GIF animations. PC Magazine awarded GIF Animator their editor's choice, and it remains the most downloaded GIF Animator on the Web, approaching 1 million downloads at CNET's Download.com alone. Version 5 secures its position at the top with features that make it both powerful and elegantly simple. GIF Animator now offers true-color object-based editing with enhanced character-level text control. New tweening tools save users time, while advanced optimization and palette management allow for the smallest possible files. Users can even output animations as standalone EXE files or as Flash (SWF) files.
