Darrien Glasser goes super deep on the gif file format: its history, its anatomy, its weirdness:
Gifs can take user input to advance to the next frame. This poor guy built a whole site around recreating this feature with pngs. A shame he didn’t read the gif spec after being stuck inside for 2 years like me.
A commandline tool + python library to glitchify images and even make GIFs out of them! Featuring 10 different levels of glitching intensity! The algorithm used to create glitched images is a slightly modified version of the popular ImageGlitcher tool’s algorithm, so you can expect the glitched images to look really cool!
Looks pretty rad on our Brain Science art.
Lots of options and features packed in to this little tool. You can even add a watermark to the output, for those of us whose terminal use is Serious Businessâ„¢.
This is a macOS app for the gifski encoder, which converts videos 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.
Sindre is so good at building these little Mac apps that do one thing well. 🥇
