Resizing pics for avatars/GIF avatars

Post by Little_Lily »

I'm just wondering if anyone is good at resizing pictures for avatars. Also, I have some cool GIF avatars that I'd also like to use, but the files sizes are too big. Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Miss lily.
You should be able to resize normal pictures in MS paint. Just click on edit then re-size to whatever pixel size you need.
If you want to play with GIF files, you might want to give this online one a try.

or you could just do a search for Freeware gif editor in google. There should be heaps.
If still having issues let me know and it would be an absolute honor to help you out.

Hey, thanks for the help guys. I'd still like to use the GIF avatars I have, but they are so large, and I'm not really good at things like this. Would one of you wish to give it a try? You can add me on msn messenger if you like, or just email me.

Just doubled avatar size limit. We're shoveling GB of images around each month, no reason to be stingy about the avatars.
