Fork of the Imagemin plugin for Gifsicle which removes max buffer size and includes more Gifsicle commands. This fork is the same as the base, but included the code from two open PRs to the main repo which have been unmerged for quite some time: Don't throw on inputs larger than 10 MB and Include additional options from the gifsicle command line.
Once the aforementioned PRs are merged I will no longer be maintaining this fork, and may delete it entirely, so if you come across this I do not recommend adding it as a dependency.
$ npm install @unplgtc/imagemin-gifsicle
const imagemin = require('imagemin');
const imageminGifsicle = require('@unplgtc/imagemin-gifsicle');
(async () => {
await imagemin(['images/*.gif'], {
destination: 'build/images',
plugins: [
imageminGifsicle()
]
});
console.log('Images optimized');
})();Returns a Promise<Buffer> with the optimized image.
Type: object
Type: boolean
Default: false
Interlace gif for progressive rendering.
Type: number
Default: 1
Select an optimization level between 1 and 3.
The optimization level determines how much optimization is done; higher levels take longer, but may have better results.
- Stores only the changed portion of each image.
- Also uses transparency to shrink the file further.
- Try several optimization methods (usually slower, sometimes better results)
Type: number
Reduce the number of distinct colors in each output GIF to num or less. Num must be between 2 and 256.
Type: number
Default: 20
Alter image colors to shrink output file size at the cost of artifacts and noise. Lossiness determines how many artifacts are allowed; higher values can result in smaller file sizes, but cause more artifacts.
Type: string
Default: diversity
Determine how a smaller colormap is chosen. diversity, the default, is xv(1)’s diversity algorithm, which uses a strict subset of the existing colors and generally produces good results. blend-diversity is a modification of this: some color values are blended from groups of existing colors. median-cut is the median cut algorithm described by Heckbert.
Type: string
Default: floyd-steinberg
Specify a dithering algorithm with the optional method argument. The default, floyd-steinberg, uses Floyd-Steinberg error diffusion. This usually looks best, but can cause animation artifacts, because dithering choices will vary from frame to frame. Gifsicle also supports ordered dithering algorithms that avoid animation artifacts. The ro64 mode uses a large, random-looking pattern and generally produces good results. The o3, o4, and o8 modes use smaller, more regular patterns. The ordered mode chooses a good ordered dithering algorithm. For special effects, try the halftone modes halftone, squarehalftone, and diagonal. Some modes take optional parameters using commas. The halftone modes take a cell size and a color limit: halftone,10,3 creates 10-pixel wide halftone cells where each cell uses up to 3 colors.
Type: string
Format: widthxheight
Resize the output GIF to the given width and height. If width or height is an underscore _, that dimension is chosen so that the aspect ratio remains unchanged.
Type: string
Default: mix
Set the method used to resize images. The sample method runs very quickly, but when shrinking images, it produces noisy results. The mix method is somewhat slower, but produces better-looking results. The default method is currently mix.
Other methods include sample, box, mix, catrom, mitchell, lanczos2, lanczos3.
Type: number
Allow Gifsicle to add intermediate colors when resizing images. Normally, Gifsicle’s resize algorithms use input images’ color palettes without changes. When shrinking images with very few colors (e.g., pure black-and-white images), adding intermediate colors can improve the results.
Type: Buffer
Buffer to optimize.
