Create Chinese GIFs

Type or copy the text you want to use into the text area. A maximum of 30 lines of text is allowed. The maximum length of each line is 80 bytes (2 bytes = 1 character). For documents using UTF-8, some character spacing may be off, but the characters will still appear. Certain parts of GB/Big5, such as the BoPoMoFo characters, will not appear, but double-width ASCII will.

Netscape Communicator Users IMPORTANT: For some reason, when this tool is used within a frame rather than the whole browser window, it causes Netscape to crash. So if you are using this tool and have other frames open, please right click with your mouse on this frame, select "Open Frame in New Window" and go from there. I've tried to find why this happens but haven't been able to so far. Sorry.

If you try to do multiple GIFs in one session, the browser will attempt to cache each result. This means that the picture that appears will be the one you had done previously. To get the current GIF, click on "View->Reload Frame" (if the GIF appears in a frame) or "View->Reload" (if the GIF appears in the top browser window) from your browser menu and say "Yes" when it asks if you want to repost form data. The current GIF should then appear.

To save the GIF to your computer, use the "File->Save Frame" or "File->Save As" menu option on your browser, rather than clicking the right mouse button on the GIF and asking to "Save Image As". If you use the right mouse button to save, the browser will seem to have saved the GIF but will have actually saved undisplayable garbage.

This tool is a mirror of a Chinese GIF originally written by Erik Peterson. Please visit some of his other on-line Chinese tools.
