One-liner command
Inspired by this article, use this one-liner command:
$ identify drop_caches.gif | wc -l
128
For more details use:
identify -verbose filename.gif
This website lets you upload your .gif and analyzes it many ways including the number of frames in it:
The convert provided by Image Magic will convert your .gif into individual .png images one for each frame:
$ convert -verbose -coalesce drop_caches.gif drop_caches.png
