Set every ANMF frame to retain its canvas or dispose its rectangle to the animation background after display. Only the disposal flag bit in each stored ANMF header changes; frame data, positions, durations, loop count, and metadata remain byte-identical. The workflow checks actual file signatures and animation structure instead of trusting an extension, runs entirely in the browser, and leaves the selected source unchanged.
How to use Disposal Editor
- Choose the required source file or ordered files and configure the disposal method editing controls.
- Run the local processor, then inspect the reported frames, timing, canvas, changed fields, and warnings.
- Download the derivative or report, test it in the intended destination, and keep the original until the result is approved.
What this tool is good at
When to use Disposal Editor
Build a controlled frame disposal policy
Compare persistent composition with clearing each displayed rectangle to the animation background before the next frame. Work from genuine animation structure and keep the selected source as the authoritative master until the complete output has been approved.
Troubleshoot composition privately
The operation preserves compressed frame payloads and exposes how many header flag bytes were eligible to change. This supports client, product, research, and internal assets without transferring their image bytes to an unrelated processing service.
Document a repeatable handoff
Save the named derivative or JSON evidence with its reported timing, frames, dimensions, and warnings. One policy is applied globally and can change visual trails or gaps dramatically when partial rectangles depend on prior canvas content.
How to choose the right settings
Change one dimension intentionally
Compare persistent composition with clearing each displayed rectangle to the animation background before the next frame. Use the focused controls to isolate the effect, then compare the first frame, intermediate composition, and final-to-first loop transition.
Respect browser memory
A small compressed file can decode into many complete RGBA canvases. Frame-count, pixel-frame, and output-size limits prevent an accidental animation from exhausting ordinary browser memory.
Verify the consuming application
One policy is applied globally and can change visual trails or gaps dramatically when partial rectangles depend on prior canvas content. Test Chrome or the exact CMS, editor, messaging client, or runtime that will display or consume the result.
Practical workflow and output details
A RIFF parser patches only the disposal bit in every complete ANMF header while retaining positions, timing, blending, metadata, and frame bytes. The source stays in the current browser tab; the application may load a local codec asset but creates no image-processing upload.
The operation preserves compressed frame payloads and exposes how many header flag bytes were eligible to change. One policy is applied globally and can change visual trails or gaps dramatically when partial rectangles depend on prior canvas content. The tool reports only the named operation and does not equate a structurally valid output with proven visual quality, accessibility, color accuracy, or universal playback.
Format behavior and limitations
Only the disposal flag bit in each stored ANMF header changes; frame data, positions, durations, loop count, and metadata remain byte-identical. One method is applied to all frames and can materially change later composition when frames occupy partial rectangles.
The processor reads or patches bounded container fields and does not claim broader visual repair, compression optimization, or cross-viewer equivalence than the named operation establishes.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Disposal Editor upload files?
No. Selected image bytes remain in the current browser tab; only application and codec assets are loaded.
Does this silently flatten animation?
No. The result is validated as a multi-frame animated WebP and retains explicit timing and loop behavior.
What should I verify?
Preview the complete result and compare frame order, timing, composition, transparency, and dimensions. One method is applied to all frames and can materially change later composition when frames occupy partial rectangles.
