Freezeframe.js

Freezeframe.js is a library that pauses animated .gifs and enables them to animate on mouse hover / mouse click / touch event, or triggered manually.

4.x

Version 4+ is built with modern javascript in mind. It's transpiled with webpack/babel, so it should work in most environments, but we are no longer supporting the jquery plugin.

If you want to use freezeframe as a jquery plugin, check out freezeframe v3.0.10.

Packages

This is a lerna.js monorepo, containing the following packages:

• freezeframe
• vue-freezeframe
• react-freezeframe

Documentation

To get started with freezeframe, head over to the core freezeframe package.

To use freezeframe with Vue.js, check out the vue-freezeframe docs.

React users should give react-freezeframe a try.

How it works

For the curious, we are able to pause animated gifs by writing their data to a canvas element. Only the first frame of the animation can be written to the canvas, so we now have a frozen version of the gif.
