I see that ezgif.com uses a program called Gifsicle for its compression. I will look into implementing that into my workflow. Thanks!

EDIT: For anyone reading this who wants a good CLI method to compress GIFs, I found this article very useful:

On the other hand, if you don't require your animated image to be in GIF format, a WEBP at the same file size will always have much higher quality:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -lossless 0 -loop 0 -preset default -an -fps_mode passthrough -vf "fps=15, scale=-1:270" -quality 10 output.webp
