About this tool
A boomerang plays the clip forward, then backward, so the loop never jumps: a wave, a jump, a spin, or a nod goes out and comes back forever. Drop a GIF and the frames are mirrored in time (the first and last frames are not doubled, so the turn-around is seamless), then re-encoded at the same or a faster speed.
Works best on short clips of a single motion. To make one from a video, use Video to GIF first with a one or two second clip, then bounce it here.

Questions
Will the file get bigger?
Almost twice as many frames, so roughly twice the size. Run it through Compress GIF afterwards if it needs to fit a limit.
Can I boomerang a video?
Convert the clip with Video to GIF first (a couple of seconds is ideal), then use this tool.
