Standalone classroom widgets

These classroom tools run as their own pages, so you can use them without first opening the DrawSplatTM whiteboard.

Animated GIF Maker

Build an animated GIF from image frames. Reorder, set per-frame delay, loop count, original-resolution or scaled output. Per-frame median-cut palette with optional Floyd-Steinberg dithering for clean gradients. Real LZW compression and adjustable palette size (256 → 32 colors) typically produce GIFs under 100 KB. Also exports as MP4 video (modern browsers, via native WebCodecs) or WebM. Everything runs in the browser; nothing is uploaded.

Big Link

Make a poster-style "type this URL" card to project on the board or print as a sign. Big bold link, optional title strip, optional note, accent color, four card shapes (16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / 3:4). Download as PNG or SVG. Standalone version of the whiteboard's Big Link widget.
