Image To Fire Effect - ImgFire FX

 A downloadable tool for Windows by Anto80

  

ImgFire FX (Image-To-Fire-Effect) is an image utility to add fire effects to your images easily

  

The fire effect added will transform your still image into an animated GIF with some options like
- color palette or gradient,
- smoke density (having an impact on how quick the fire will spread),
- sparks or particles addition
... and the first frames of the animation are merged with the last frames, to loop even more smoothly!
