Possible to use addFrame with base64 data instead of imageData? #21

Closed nicolasdelfino closed 6 years ago

Hi! I'm searching for something that would allow me to generate an animated GIF from an array of base64 strings, is this possible and implemented / possible but not implemented / impossible? Also, does this need the browser to work or will it work in window less environments? thanks!

gifencoder's streaming API works with raw pixels in 32bit RGBA format and the addFrame() API works with a canvas context. So you need to decode whatever you have in your base64 encoded frames first. It works just fine without a browser, and I personally prefer using it on server-side.
