Like but read as many GIF images as possible from each file. For example, to create an animated GIF with three frames with different delays, you might run " gifsicle -nextfile -d10 -d20 -d30 - > out.gif" and write the three GIF images, in sequence, to gifsicle's standard input. This option can help scripts avoid the need for temporary files. If a filename appears multiple times on the command line, gifsicle will read a new image from the file each time. Or sayĪllow input files to contain multiple concatenated GIF images. This may be useful if you are processing large GIFs on a computer without very much memory. Use the option if you are having problems with a particular image.Ĭonserve memory usage at the expense of processing time. Some Java and Internet Explorer versions cannot display the correct, minimal GIFs that Gifsicle produces. Write slightly larger GIFs that avoid bugs in some other GIF implementations. Print the version number and some short non-warranty information and exit. Print progress information (files read and written) to standard error.Įxit with status 1 when encountering a very erroneous GIF. The special filename ‘-’ means the standard output. Like but also print information about compressed image sizes. Like but also print any unrecognized GIF extensions in a hexdump(1)-like format. Like but also print information about input files' colormaps. Print a human-readable description of each input GIF to the standard output, or whatever file you specify with This option suppresses normal output, and cannot be combined with mode options like If you give two or options, however, information is printed to standard error, and normal output takes place as usual. The info options and can be turned off with ‘ ’ General options control the information gifsicle prints and where it writes its output. Same as but write any named frames to files ‘xxx. The output GIFs are named ‘xxx.000’, ‘xxx.001’, and so on, where ‘xxx’ is the name of the input file (or whatever you specified with ‘ ’ and the numeric extension is the frame number. (GIFs read from the standard input are written to the standard output.)Ĭreate an output GIF for each frame of each input file. Modify each GIF input in place by reading and writing to the same filename. There can be at most one, and it must precede any GIF inputs.Ĭombine all GIF inputs into one file with multiple frames and write that file to the standard output. Mode options tell gifsicle what kind of output to generate. You can turn off a short option ‘ ’ by saying ‘ ’ instead. Many options also have a converse, ‘ ’ which turns off the option. Some options also have a short form, ‘ ’ You can combine short options if they don't take arguments: ‘ ’ is the same as ‘ ’ But be careful with options that do take arguments: ‘ ’ means ‘ ’ not ‘ ’ OPTIONSĮvery option has a long form, ‘ ’ You don't need to type the whole long descriptive name, just enough to make it unambiguous. Gifsicle exits with status 0 if there were no errors and status 1 otherwise. If no GIF input file is given, or you give the special filename ‘-’, it reads from the standard input. Gifsicle reads and processes GIF input files in order.

Most options start with a dash (-) or plus (+) frame selections, a kind of option, start with a number sign (#). Gifsicle's command line consists of GIF input files and options. optimize, -unoptimize, -colors Image transformations croppingįrame selections (like '#0') Transparency extension, -app-extension, -extension-info File size change-color, -use-colormap, -dither, -transform-colormap reducing number Animations, changingįrame selections, frame changes, etc. CONCEPT INDEXĬoncepts are on the left, relevant gifsicle options are on the right.

To interlace all the GIFs in the current directory, you could say: gifsicle -batch -i *.gif With gifsicle will modify the files you specify instead of writing a new file to the standard output. To modify GIF files in place, use the option. Use options like to tune your animations. By default, it combines two or more input files into a “flipbook” animation: gifsicle pic1.gif pic2.gif pic3.gif > animation.gif Gifsicle is good at creating and manipulating GIF animations. The option, for example, tells gifsicle to interlace its inputs: gifsicle -i interlaced-pic.gif Gifsicle normally processes input GIF files according to its command line options and writes the result to the standard output. Gifsicle is a powerful command-line program for creating, editing, manipulating, and getting information about GIF images and animations. Gifsicle - manipulates GIF images and animations SYNOPSIS
