Freezeframe.js is a TypeScript library that pauses animated .gif images by rendering their first frame to a canvas, then animating them on hover, click, touch, or via manual trigger/release functions. It ships as a core package plus wrappers for React, Vue, and Angular.
Use cases
- pause animated gifs on my website until hovered
- show gif first frame and play on click
- freeze gifs in a react app
- control gif playback with play and stop functions
- add an overlay play icon to frozen gifs
- make gif thumbnails static until user interaction
When to choose
- you need to pause animated gifs in modern browsers
- you use React, Vue, or Angular and want a framework wrapper
- you want TypeScript support and a small dependency-free library
When to avoid
- you need to support legacy browsers or jQuery (use v3/v4 instead)
- you need to pause gifs on the current frame rather than the first frame
- your gifs are cross-origin without proper CORS headers
