Animately GIF Compression

I have a 13.3MB GIF. When I put in Animately, it is able to compress it to 2.84MB or lower when using its Premium algorithum. How do I duplicate its effect with the same amount of quality.

Hint: I asked one of the people behind Animately and they said use Gifsicle with its own compression library.

Sample gif: https://www.mediafire.com/view/4z2e8...ample.gif/file

Why are you giving a hint? What exactly is your end goal here? This is so weird.

But let me flip the roles and ask the questions. Why are you asking completely disjoint questions daily, without ever pointing out your end goal? Why do you never thank the forum members who put in the effort to reply to your various question? Why are you never acknowledging their replies and showcasing your achievement thanks to their answers?

To me, this post just supports the idea that you are forwarding some AI chatbot questions and collecting the answers. Beside, most of your questions already have answers spread throughout the forum: you are breaching one of the most basic doom9 rule.

My end goal for this is to be able to compress some of my gifs to less than 3MB so I can post them in Wattpad as part of my stories.

Also, I would like to thank everyone in the forum who took the time to come out and answer my questions and being patient with me.

Will it produce the results I wanted? To get gifs at 3MB or lower?

without context you can make small gifs with anything.

I have a problem. I used gifski to make a gif out of 114 png files, but the output gif only had 96 images. How do I fix that? The input files came from a video with a constant frame rate of 23.98.

Seems like a limit so that the number of frames is an integer multiple of the frame rate. I suspect that if you try >= 120 images, it will have 120 frames.

IDK.
I'm only interested in its Y4M input support now. Which has a fps option that default to 20.

Here are my images: https://www.mediafire.com/file/x8qxg...images.7z/file

I tried setting the frame rate to 23.98 using --fps 23,98, but that didn't work.

I can't test this out for a few more days. My PSU blew, and I'm waiting for the new one to be delivered. Try adding more images to get a multiple of 24. Or post --help here and let's see what we can do.

I must say, this tool seems interesting. It does, in a simple fashion, what we all helped Jay to achieve using more painstaking methods
