In fact, it's working, but it lacks some documentation.

After some troubles, here's how to use it :

• reference ImageTools
• reference ImageTools.Controls
• reference ImageTools.IO.Gif

Add namespace in xaml :

xmlns:imagetools="clr-namespace:ImageTools.Controls;assembly=ImageTools.Controls" 

And resources :

Then use the control with the converter :

Your ImageSource should be an Uri, for example :

ImageSource = new Uri("http://mysite/my.gif", UriKind.Absolute);

Don't forget to add decoded :

ImageTools.IO.Decoders.AddDecoder();
