mrsmith Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Hi guys, I have an animated gif I would like to use as my avatar but it is too big. It is 100x100 pixels but weighs in at 160kb but the limit is 75kb. Is there a way of getting it down to 75kb without taking out any frames? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrocious Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Download RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool) to shrink the file down from 160 kb to 75 kb. This is a free program, you can find it here: http://luci.criosweb.ro/riot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmith Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks for the info. unfortunately RIOT dont support animated gifs. It will reduce the gif but also strips all but the first frame. The result is an un-animated gif. :frusty: I used Blumentals Easy Gif Animater Pro v5 to reduce the gif. I still have all frames and it is animated but it is so small I dont like it. Im not going to use this as my avatar after all. For now just keep old avatar. thanks again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyo Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Did you try reducing the quality a bit, not only the size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsmith Posted October 5, 2011 Author Share Posted October 5, 2011 Did you try reducing the quality a bit, not only the size?yes, it was very ugly. The size needed to come down from 160kb to 75kb, thats over 50% just too much fat to trim. Oh well at least I found RIOT from all this. Nice little proggy.
