I have an animated gif frile (???) that I'd like to use.
But it's too big.
I've tried the usual hosting sites, imageshack, photbucket, wanadoo albums, and SH photo thingy.
The problem I have is the sites either don't upload gifs, or if they do; my gif is too big.
I've tried resizing, but when I do, they stop dancing.
I'm almost certain it's been on SH before, but having just spent the last hour or so going through my PMs and the persons PMs that I think sent it to me - can't find it :cry
It's dimensions are 150x77 and the file size is according to XP.
Can anyone help me shrink the megabyte size, without affecting the quality, and while keeping them dancing ?
I think imageshack's (my preference) limit is 1000KBs - but I'll go check that now.
worship

In edit
imageshack limit is 1024KB. I've just uploaded it using imageshack's resize option. It uploaded, but they weren't dancing sad

I don't need it to be avatar size, but if that works and they still dance - that wouldn't be a problem.

I've got it down to the 30k limit to host on SH as an avatar, i,v got it on my avatar as u can see i'm still stump as to why it dont animate on ur side other tha the message at the bottom of the file properties stating as the gif was sent by mail some things may be blocked. You may need to click the unblock button. i've sent u the file to try.

I didn't know he wanted it to be small enough for an avatar so i just knocked it down to around 300 k keeping full quality and size, only trouble is with mine, my gif animator was turning the canvas to black unless i left it as raw then it would be slight grey checks on the background, and as Tony ain't here at the moment i don't know how to fix that part sad

I didn't necessarily need it to be avatar size, that just came up in conversation about sizes.

i did it full size at 190k and avatar size at 26k but he can get it running direct from the mails i sent but not the actual saves file other that what i mentioned above. Here is the option i was on about earkier in the properties

Did you notice the black and white frames to stop it from being edited?
my gif animator picked them up, only way of getting rid of the black frames for my program was to leave a raw canvas then that gave me the checked background, i know Toony has shown me how to get rid of that but i can't remember now sad

What do you use goose35 to edit yours with?
I use Babarosa Gif Animator 3.6 for the cutting/creation of the files
then i use the gif animation of game maker to do pretty things with them.
