[FIXED] How to create a gif from an image sequence without dither with FFMPEG?

Issue

I'm able to create a gif from the image sequence, but I'm struggling to remove the dither from it.

This is the command I'm using to create the gif:

ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 24 -y -i image_%d.png -loop -1 "C:\Users\agetr\Documents\_tmp\__giuf.gif"

And I've tried to use the paletteuse=dither=none filter in different ways with no luck.

P.S.: I'm very new to the ffmpeg cli

Solution

You need to use -sws_dither none (after the -i $file argument, and before the output file). I've tried this on current git/master of FFmpeg and it works as expected, but on older builds (e.g. 4.4.1) this doesn't work. I don't know why exactly, so use a recent (5.0 or any version from 2022, if possible) version/build.
