According to its description, Fig is a "Sleek GIF editor." It's a free and open-source, GTK app for Linux that allows you to edit GIFs.

Right off the bat, I have to say that it doesn't offer all that much in terms of features. However, considering that this is still a young project, a few improvements can go a very long way.

Fig is indeed a sleek app, but as far as editing goes, it's only good for shortening/trimming GIFs (basically, it allows you to edit the duration of GIFs). I like the whole concept of editing the duration of GIFs using a nifty slider (that's basically a frame preview).

I also think that the fact that you can preview the trimmed GIF frame by frame is a good idea, but I would have appreciated this even more if the app offered a way to slow down or accelerate the process.

As it stands, Fig is not what one might call a comprehensive GIF editor. Still, as mentioned before, it has potential. According to the app's GitHub repository, there are a few things "in the works."

Some important future upgrades and todos include the ability to crop GIFs, combine frames to GIFs, capture GIFs, the option to make GIFs black and white while editing them, insert or remove frames in the "timeline," and an actual editing mode (that actually changes GIF appearance).

That's about it, really. Fig is nothing more than a very simplistic GIF editor that's a bit lacking in the actual editing section. It looks very good on GNOME, but for now, it's only usable if you want to trim/cut GIFs in order to create shorter GIFs.
