GIFBuilder was released in 1996 and that year won the Ziff Davis Shareware Award in the Graphics and Multimedia category.[1] GIFBuilder was developed from clip2gif, an earlier program by the same author, which was an Apple Event-based CGI script for generating GIF images on WebSTAR and other Macintosh web servers of the era.[2]

It was ported to Mac OS X using the Carbon (API) library, but has not been updated to function with OS X version after Lion.
