Summary : Powerful program for manipulating GIF images and animations
URL : http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/
License : GPLv2+
Description : Gifsicle is a command-line tool for creating, editing, and getting
: information about GIF images and animations.
:
: Some more gifsicle features:
:
: * Batch mode for changing GIFs in place.
: * Prints detailed information about GIFs, including comments.
: * Control over interlacing, comments, looping, transparency...
: * Creates well-behaved GIFs: removes redundant colors, only uses local
: color tables if it absolutely has to (local color tables waste space
: and can cause viewing artifacts), etc.
: * It can shrink colormaps and change images to use the Web-safe palette
: (or any colormap you choose).
: * It can optimize your animations! This stores only the changed portion
: of each frame, and can radically shrink your GIFs. You can also use
: transparency to make them even smaller. Gifsicle?s optimizer is pretty
: powerful, and usually reduces animations to within a couple bytes of
: the best commercial optimizers.
: * Unoptimizing animations, which makes them easier to edit.
: * A dumb-ass name.
:
: One other program is included with gifsicle
: and gifdiff compares two GIFs for identical visual appearance.
