While searching for new avatars i've come across a few animated gif files that would make quite good avatars.
My problem is that their size in pixels and in Kb. are too big.
What software can i use to make them smaller?
photshop can do this but its easier to do with imageready which usually come with CS2 :)
And to add to the rafiki's question, can this vb increase the limit upload picture size (19.5KB or is it fixed to the current limit size?.
it depends on what the file type is .gif usually has a smaller compression method so it should work as would .png but that usually is somewhat larger ... you could also change the size of the image in any software includeing paint by cropping , or if you use imageshack you can choose to make the file size smaller from the start of the upload so that would decrese the file size
