How to merge GIF images using C# Leave feedback

GroupDocs.Merger allows developers to combine multiple GIF documents in the preferred order and save them as a single file.

GIF, Graphics Interchange Format, is a raster file format designed for relatively basic images that appear mainly on the internet. Each file can support up to 8 bits per pixel and can contain 256 indexed colors. GIF files also allow images or frames to be combined, creating basic animations.

The following example demonstrates how to merge image files in horizontal mode with several lines of C# code:

• Create an instance of Merger class and pass source image file path as a constructor parameter. You may specify absolute or relative file path as per your requirements.
• Create an instance of ImageJoinOptions class and pass enum value of ImageJoinMode as a constructor parameter.
• Add another image file to merge with Join method and pass instance of ImageJoinOptions class as a method parameter. Repeat this step for other image documents you want to merge.
• Call Merger class Save method and specify the filename for the merged image file as parameter.

// Load the source image file
using (Merger merger = new Merger(@"c:\sample1.gif"))
{
    // Define image join options with horizontal join mode
    ImageJoinOptions joinOptions = new ImageJoinOptions(ImageJoinMode.Horizontal);
    // Add another image file to merge
    merger.Join(@"c:\sample2.gif", joinOptions);
    // Add next image file to merge
    merger.Join(@"c:\sample3.gif", joinOptions);
    // Merge image files and save result
    merger.Save(@"c:\merged.gif");
}
