Animated GIF help please

Thrice · 04-28-2009, 05:35 PM

I have a question about animated GIFs. I want to post one as my avatar on another site, but it is 700kb and the max is 150kb. Is there a way to dull it down a bit? I have tried to extract files, remove useless ones and save, but Im too illiterate to do so. Also tried decreasing resolution and size, but couldnt get it small enough. Please Help! Also, posted this in GIF thread, but got no responses. I would have overlooked it as well after seeing that Jurrasic Park guy!

There are quite a few websites that allow you to edit GIF's, if you haven't already tried these:

GIFWorks.com! Free Online GIF Tools

Animated Gif Image Resizer Lite v1.01 - Resize Animations Online

Thanks, but the first one had a file limit size, and the second one just made it so small I couldnt even see it. Im more trying to take certain frames out and hoping that will work.
