#Does anybody know of any good animated GIF encoding libraries?

As title.

I'm working on a little JavaFX program that reads in animated gifs, applies an a number of artistic filters to each frame and then rebuilds the gif and displays it in a JavaFX window.

I'm working with the Apache Commons imaging library at the moment, and that works fine for reading data but doesn't seem to have any way to write an animated Gif.

Every library I've managed to find so far has either had this same problem, has been missing features like the ability to set disposal methods and frame delays, or is old enough to predate modules and refuses to load due to broken module paths.

Does anybody know of a more up to date one I could use, or should I just bite the bullet and write my own encoder?

then saves the new animated gif. I've been using the javax.imageio package to read in gifs, but I'm having trouble finding a good library for encoding the gifs.

One option you can consider is using the AnimatedGifEncoder library. It's a lightweight library that allows you to easily create animated gifs from individual frames. You can find it on GitHub and add it to your project as a dependency.

Another option is using the GifSequenceWriter class from the JCodec library. This library provides tools for working with various video formats, including GIFs. The GifSequenceWriter class allows you to create animated gifs from a sequence of images.

If you're looking for a more comprehensive solution, you can also check out the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API. This API provides extensive image processing capabilities, including support for creating and manipulating animated gifs.

Overall, there are several options available for encoding animated gifs in Java. Depending on your specific requirements and preferences, you can choose the library that best fits your needs. Good luck with your project!
