I have a problem with the converted image size. It's 2x times greater than original and it's dimensions are lesser!

This is the result:

This is original:

This is the command line i was using:

convert /img.gif -coalesce -resize x220 /img2.gif

Original size is 995kb and result size is 2540kb!

How to reduce the size?

As http://www.imagemagick.org/script/comma ... p#coalesce says, you might try "-layers optimize". This gives a smaller size for me.

After this, gif animation is not working.

It works for me. IM v6.8.6-0 in Windows 7.

What are you using?

Have you tried using my, provided gif images? I'm using Ubuntu via ssh.

Huh interesting... Now it's working. Probably magic was in the right options positioning... Thanks mate.
