Gemini GIF vs GifGen

Gemini GIF is a Python tool that turns text prompts into animated GIFs using Google’s Gemini API. It uses Gemini 2.0 Flash, with `models/gemini-2.0-flash-exp` listed as the default model. You can set the animation’s subject and style, adjust its prompt template, and choose a frame rate. Automatic retries help it generate multiple frames. Its command-line interface shows progress bars, supports verbose logging, and can disable automatic GIF previews. Save output to a chosen file, or use the default `animation_.gif`. A programmatic Python API is also available for other projects. Gemini GIF requires Python 3.10 or later and a Gemini API key, which can be supplied through a `.env` file, an environment variable, or a command-line argument. GIF generation uses imageio. The tool is free and open source under the MIT License, and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows.
