    Quick Answer: Boomerang

    To create a boomerang GIF, use Gifur's tool at gifur.com/tools/boomerang. Upload your GIF and it automatically appends reversed frames, creating an Instagram-style ping-pong loop effect.

    The boomerang effect roughly doubles a GIF's file size because the reversed frames are appended after the originals.

    Instagram-style boomerangs play the clip forward then in reverse, producing a continuous ping-pong loop.

    Forward-then-reverse loop — The Instagram-style ping-pong: your GIF plays through, then plays back in reverse. Good fit for short reactions and single actions.

    Gifur Boomerang is a loop tool that plays GIF animations forward then in reverse, in the Instagram-style ping-pong format.
