Gifski is so good at what it does that it feels like magic! Massive 10MB GIFs shrink down to under 3MB!

Everything is customizable too! Need a GIF that never loops? Need to change the speed? Need to get a very specific resolution?

Personally, I use Gifski to encode all GIF exports from Blender and Kdenlive. It's just that good!

What is Gifski Encoder?

Highest-quality GIF encoder based on pngquant.

Gifski converts video frames to GIF animations using pngquant's fancy features for efficient cross-frame palettes and temporal dithering. It produces animated GIFs that use thousands of colors per frame.

It's a CLI tool, but it can also be compiled as a C library for seamless use in other apps.
