CLI Submissions • Gifski (animated GIF compressor)

First mentioned by Nickesm (viewtopic.php?p=94656#p94656) Gifski looked interesting for its purpose, as it also advertised a Windows GUI version -- which sadly I couldn't make work; it executed alright with no patent error and then just stayed in memory without any visible UI... :|

Anyway here it is as a CLI utility for anyone interested (see below for version details). And please beware that "By default Gifski maximizes quality at cost of file size, so it is expected that the GIF files will be massive". If you need smaller files, several solutions are proposed near the bottom of Gifski's homepage.
Gifski makes smooth GIF animations using advanced techniques that work around the GIF format's limitations.

Gifski current CLI version is v1.32.0 released 2024-04-24 (changes and downloads at https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski/releases/).

Surprisingly Gifski Windows GUI version is at v1.14.4 (64-bit only, packaged in a MSI archive) released 2024-02-09 (same location).

Spoiler!   

FTR, here's current Gifski CLI help output:

Code:

gifski 1.32.0https://gif.ski by Kornel LesińskiUsage: gifski.exe [OPTIONS] --output <a.gif> <FILES>...Arguments:  <FILES>...  PNG image files for the animation frames, or a .y4m fileOptions: -o, --output <a.gif>         Destination file to write to; "-" means stdout -r, --fps <num>              Frame rate of animation. If using PNG files                              as input, this means the speed, as all frames                              are kept. If video is used, it will be                              resampled to this constant rate by dropping                              and/or duplicating frames [default: 20]     --fast-forward <x>       Multiply speed of video by factor [default: 1]     --fast                   50% faster encoding, but 10% worse quality                              and larger file size     --extra                  50% slower encoding, but 1% better quality -Q, --quality <1-100>        Lower quality may give smaller file                              [default: 90]     --motion-quality <1-100> Lower values reduce motion     --lossy-quality <1-100>  Lower values introduce noise and streaks -W, --width <px>             Maximum width.                              By default anims are limited to about 800x600 -H, --height <px>            Maximum height (stretches if the width is                              also set) -q, --quiet                  Do not display anything on standard                              output/console     --repeat <num>           Number of times the animation is repeated                             (-1 none, 0 forever or <value> repetitions     --matte <RGBHEX>         Background color for semitransparent pixels -h, --help                   Print help (see more with '--help') -V, --version                Print version
