Instead of Gifsicle
Gifsicle alternatives
Gifsicle gives technically minded users a free command-line way to create, inspect, edit, and optimize GIF images and animations on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It combines GIFs, controls frame delays and looping, inserts, replaces, deletes, or extracts frames, changes size, crop, rotation, transparency, interlacing, comments, and colors, and prints detailed information. Batch mode edits files in place, while gifview and gifdiff add viewing and visual comparison. Building it requires an ANSI C compiler, and optimization can sometimes increase file size; some Java and Internet Explorer versions may need the --careful option.
