A Smaller GIF is a program for reducing the size of animated GIFs
without affecting their appearance in any way. The recompressed
animations are pixel-for-pixel equivalent to the original animations if
fewer than 256 colours are used in the animation. Different GIF
utilities use different techniques to store their animations; A Smaller
GIF tries several compression techniques, and uses the technique that
will minimize the size of the resulting GIF. It is often capable of
reducing an animated GIF as most GIF programs do not maximally compress
their output. A Smaller GIF also serves as a full function animated GIF
viewer. A Smaller GIF lets you:

*view animated GIFs at normal speed, in either the normal or reverse
directions,
*examine individual frames by advancing or rewinding frame by frame,
*fast-forward and rewind quickly through animations, and
*randomly access individual frames by entering frame numbers or
positioning a slider. While viewing, the current frame is shown along
with its frame number, starting time and duration.

A Smaller GIF also provides some very basic editing of animated GIFs:
frame timing and interlacing may be adjusted. GIF comments (comments in
the animation that are not visible during viewing, but are visible using
GIF utilities) may be added, edited, or removed. Animation looping may
also be modified (GIFs may loop forever, or for a fixed number of
times).
