What Gemini GIF is

Gemini GIF is a Python command-line tool for making animated GIFs from text prompts through Google’s Gemini API. Its README identifies Gemini 2.0 Flash as the generation model and lists models/gemini-2.0-flash-exp as the default. You can customize the animation’s subject, style, prompt template, and frame rate, while automatic retries help handle generation of multiple frames. The command line displays progress bars, supports verbose logging, and can disable automatic GIF previews. It saves the result to a chosen output path, or to animation_.gif by default. A programmatic Python API is available for use in other projects. The tool uses imageio for GIF generation and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows. It is free and open source under the MIT License. Running it requires Python 3.10 or later and a Gemini API key, which can be supplied in a .env file, an environment variable, or a command-line argument. For API errors, the README points users to the log file and suggests checking the key and access to Gemini 2.0 Flash.
