Legacy ImageMagick Discussions Archive

hi dears,

I'm using MagickCore for creating gif image, but the size of output image is so big when there are lot of frames.

I found a method called OptimizeImageLayers, after using this method, the file size is kinda reduced, but when it is played in some player, it's confused.

So, is there any solution to optimize gif image with MagickCore just like this software? (http://www.leapic.com/free-gif-optimizer.htm)

wish reply.

thanks.

Not in a GUI! Though it can do the job.

convert animation.gif -coalesce -layers Optimize opt_animation.gif

See IM Examples, Animation Optimization, if you want to understand more.

NOTE the above does not try to optimize the GIF by removing colors, though you can do that as well.
It is really more of a toolkit to make your own GIF optimizers.
