+
+@itemize
+@item Provides a batch mode for changing GIFs in place.
+@item Prints detailed information about GIFs, including comments.
+@item Control over interlacing, comments, looping, transparency, etc.
+@item Creates well-behaved GIFs: removes redundant colors, only uses local color
+tables, etc.
+@item Shrinks colormaps and change images to use the Web-safe palette.
+@item Optimizes GIF animations, or unoptimizes them for easier editing.
+@end itemize
+
+Two other programs are included with Gifsicle: @command{gifview} is a
+lightweight animated-GIF viewer, and @command{gifdiff} compares two GIFs for
+identical visual appearance.")
