This GIF-optimization utility wraps simple functionality in a good-looking package. Advanced GIF Optimizer's well-organized interface presents a file tree on the left and a windowpane on the right, displaying GIFs eligible for optimization. You can test files individually or in bulk, to see how much space you'll save. The program can then modify the files in place (with the originals optionally backed up to another folder) or save optimized GIFs in another folder. However, you can't rename optimized files, nor save them side by side with the originals. The more serious problem is that Advanced GIF Optimizer often can't shrink GIFs all. It lets you drop interlacing or reduce color depth, but even then, many GIFs won't budge. As a result, Advanced GIF Optimizer will be useful mainly for those who want to cut costs on high-traffic, image-heavy Web sites by reducing bandwidth a fraction.

Not worth your time, it's a complete waste of space...
WebG0PHERJanuary 15, 2006
Pros
I personally didn't like anything about this program, it is one of the most useless image compression programs I have ever used, and I have used dozens...
Cons
Everything. It doesn't really compress anything. To get any sort of compression at all, you must reduce the colors so far that the picture is just horrible looking. This is junk and should be removed.

A Waste Of Time!

Pros
None!
Cons
I will never understand how any software developer would dare put a piece of garbage like this on the market. Please, don't waste your time. Me writing about it is actually a waste of my time. PURE GARBAGE!

Pros
For a speedy person trying to download a quick program on the net, looking up for good solution is an ideal, this software is ok, but there's no further comments
Cons
It was a peice of rubbish, after you have saved the image, it gives a line in the picture after you saved it from their company saying "AdGif - UNREGISTERED" I mean who on earth would like to try a piece of software and pay for something they cannot benifit from it staright away, as it said try before you buy. Come on, this is year 2005, not 1920!!! Rubbish software ... *sigh* <p> <p>I think it's a load of rubbish, guys out there, look for another one.

For almost 40 bucks, it sure doesnt do much.. I lost 8 bytes on my buddy icon. It supposedly can reduce the image to up to 4 colors to reduce the size, but it didnt work.
