dView
A downloadable application for Windows
dView is a free lightweight image viewer/converter for Windows.
You can easily create multi-frame images, videos, spritesheets and tilesets in a few simple steps. You can crop, scale or stretch the images and place them within the drawing area. Change the order of the images and the duration of each frame to create the sequence you want.
In dView all controls are at your fingertips for straightforward, no fuss operation.
Most of the commands apply to all frames of animated images whenever possible.
