View animated GIFs on iPad

Animated GIFs are unfortunately not easy to view on the iPad. That's why you need to install apps that allow you to view the GIF files. We present three of them.

Watch GIFs on iPad

• With the free app "GifPlayer Free" GIF animations are visible on your iPad. The application has an integrated web browser with which you can load the GIF files directly into the app. There are also pause / play options and zoom functions. You can download downloaded GIF images to your iPad photo album or send them by email.
• The paid app (3, 59 € at the time of testing) "Gif Viewer" even helps you to extract animated GIF files from ZIP files and then view them on your iPad. There is an integrated data manager with which you can create folders and thus manage your GIF files.
• The "Puffin Web Browser Free" is particularly worthwhile if you are specifically looking for GIF images on the web and want to see them directly in the browser. You can also use it to save the GIF images on a cloud server.
