Technical Glossary

Key Terminology & Definitions

Ping-Pong / Boomerang Loop

Concatenating a sequence $F_1, F_2 \dots F_n$ with its reverse $F_{n-1} \dots F_2$ to create an oscillation with smooth turnaround points.

Inverted Frame Delay Mapping

Assigning the delay of frame $K$ to the corresponding reversed position to maintain authentic variable-speed animation dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions (PAA)

GIF Reverse Tool FAQs

Reverse plays only backward; Boomerang plays forward to the end, then immediately reverses back to the start, doubling the total loop duration.
