These tools don’t put any type of watermark on the output or adjust the size (height and width) of the output GIF
image. You get the output as it is with only one difference i.e., reversed GIF. The output file size may come larger than
the original but that should not be a problem.

the input image/GIF, you will have different options to use. For example, you can set brightness and contrast, adjust
hue, saturation, and lightness, flip the image or animated GIF to horizontal or vertical view mode, resize the image, use
pixelate option, etc.

available options will be visible to you. The output can be saved separately after using all these options. Do note that
you need to wait for a little after selecting and using an option because sometimes the tool interface hangs and then
you might have to force close it.
