Gifenc

A Golang based GIF encoder/decoder

• Convert GIFs to images and images to GIFs

Prerequisites

• Go

Quick Start

Import the gifenc package first.

package main

import (
	"github.com/Nota30/gifenc"
)

func main() {
	gify := gifenc.Config{}

	// Decode
	var gif *gif.GIF // Provide a gif
	imgs, err := gify.Decode(gif)
	if err != nil {
		println(err)
	}

    // Encode
	var images []image.Image // Provide an array of images
    encoded, err := gify.Encode(images)
    if err != nil {
		println(err)
	}
}

You can view examples in the test/test.go file.

Issues

• This package uses Floyd–Steinberg dithering so the GIF result might not be what you expected.
• Maybe adding other dithering algorithms at a later release?
