@martinezalonso Apologies for the lagged reply and thank you for the compliments! ☺️
We did look into gifski awhile back and the output quality is indeed as good as it gets. Unfortunately, the last time I checked there are no miracles with GIF compression and it always costs the file size. Gifski was no exception.
The absolute majority of our users share their GIFs in one way or the other and the file size does matter a lot. Our existing compression options provide great results and can be maxed up for very good quality. We have a really good article on Mastering High Quality GIFs with Gifox, check it out for more info if you haven't already.
That said, I'm not against adding another compression option – every one of them finds their audience, but right now we're focused on other priorities.
No worries on the delay!
Thank you so much for getting back to me.
Totally understand that it might not be the highest priority.
Your tool is already so amazing and has helped me put together so many presentations where gifs are much less cumbersome than movie files.
Take care,
-Alonso

Hey Gifox team!
First of all, thank you so much for an incredible app, I absolutely love it.
I was wondering if you had looked into adopting the gif encoding algorithm used by Gifski? (pngquant).
For a couple of the gifs that I have tried converting to using that, it seems to be getting less color banding.
Thank you so much,
Alonso Martinez
