What is this?Gifsicle is a command-line tool for creating, editing, and gettinginformation about GIF images and animations. Making a GIF animation withgifsicle is easy: gifsicle --delay=10 --loop *.gif > anim.gifExtracting frames from animations is easy too: gifsicle anim.gif '#0' > firstframe.gifYou can also edit animations by replacing, deleting, orinserting frames: gifsicle -b anim.gif --replace '#0' new.gif Some more gifsicle features:
Two other programs are included with gifsicle: gifview is alightweight animated-GIF viewer which can show animations as slideshows orin real time, and gifdiff compares two GIFs for identical visualappearance. Gifsicle is freely available. All you’ll need is an ANSI Ccompiler. I welcome changes, bug reports, complaints, etc.: mail me atekohler@gmail.com! |
Gifsicle questionsLet the person who isn’t actually buying anything but israther downloading something for free, beware. Q: How do you pronounce “gifsicle”? Q: What about patents? |
Other GIF toolsWhirlgif (an older version) mergessingle GIFs into animations, but cannot extract frames, edit animations, oruse animations as input files. It either uses local color tables, or itchanges input colors by only using colors from the first GIF frame. It alsocannot handle complicated input transparency or more than 256 colors total.Gifsicle now uses its adaptive tree method for LZW encoding (thanks!) whichmakes it basically as fast as Whirlgif. GIFMerge is based onan earlier program called txtmerge. Like Whirlgif, it cannot extract framesor edit animations. It also cannot optimize animations. Resultinganimations always have local color tables. Doesn’t deal with inputtransparency. Giftool does batch mode, comments, interlacing, and information,but doesn’t handle animations. Of course, there are hundredsof programs available for Macs and Windows boxes! There’s at least one GIF optimizer available via the Web. Submit aGIF URL to OptiView, and it spitsout several impressively optimized versions for you to select from.As of mid-1998, gifsicle -O2 usually did about as well as GIF Wizard,OptiView’s predecessor. |
