    Really useful for shaving down those huge GIFs. One thing I'd love is an option to preview the output before downloading so I can dial in the quality without trial and error.

    finally something that doesn't shove my gifs through a server, the local browser compression feels way more private and the frame rate slider actually makes a noticeable difference in file size.

    Love that it runs entirely in the browser without uploading anything, and the live preview next to the quality slider makes it really easy to find the sweet spot. Solid little tool.
