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. + +Two other programs are included with gifsicle: gifview is a +lightweight animated-GIF viewer which can show animations +as slideshows or in real time, and gifdiff compares two GIFs +for identical visual appearance. |
