Inheritance trees show the relationship between a gif and its parent and child gifs. At Editable GIFs, many gifs are derived from existing gifs by us, or by creators. This makes creating new gifs easy - by copying and altering another.
Remember, all our gifs are actually animation templates - we also call them gif templates. Users easily personalize the animations and download them as gifs or videos.
The templates themselves can also be customized with a creator account. In this case you take an existing template, copy it, alter it, then publish it. This is how our hierarchy of parent/child gifs is made.
