hello,

first off thanks for clicking on this thread =D. i recently found (after much time searching) a Gif that sets my brain aflame. i truly love this gif and want it to be my avatar very much. however, the file size is much to large and the size of the image is much too large as well

 

 

122x120. 114 kb. can anybody help me shrink this file?

http://www.gifworks.com my friend,

 

you can upload your gif, resize, crop and if the file size is still too big you can reduce the number of colors

 

if you like you can post your gif and i'll do it for you

grrrr, it was all working quite well at first, i found it easy enough to use, but when i resized the Gif it.....well as the object in the Gif moves the black background resizes itself constantly. it keeps on changing the size of the background black area..... im not making much sense whatsoever am i?

 

 

the Gif i would like to alter the size of has a black background, the central object is a character in motion within this black background. as the character moves about the background size changes...making it look rather ugly. is there any way around this? the original sized Gif didnt shift its black area at all. what am i doing wrong?

 

edit: disregard this post. im an idiot. thanks for your help, i think i have it working nicely now =D expect a new avatar on me soon.

 

second edit: sigh, i have given up on making Gifs work, these forums just dont allocate enough space to cool avatars. ah well, ive chosen to work on a still Gif instead. thanks for the great site man.
