Although you are joking, gifsicle does have a "--lossy" switch which allows changes to a gif file in order to make the LZW compression more efficient.

Although you are joking, gifsicle does have a "--lossy" switch which allows changes to a gif file in order to make the LZW compression more efficient.
- masklinn 6y agoAn other example is pngquant, which performs "lossy" compression of PNGs (by quantizing them).
- LeoPanthera 6y agopngquant reduces the size by removing information from the image before compression. gifsicle --lossy actually allows slightly lossy LZW dictionary matches to improve the compression itself.
