Resize Animated GIFS Without Losing The Animation

[LoneKiller]

I can't speak for other members, but often I find an animated GIF that I like, but it's too big or too small to use as a sig or in a post. I've tried to resize them only to have the animated effect go away.

Although I'm sure there are better sites and programs then what I'm posting here, I find this site very easy to use and is very good.

Could you use it on your flashing Jason image? An image that big flashing like that hurts the eyes

No problem Lost Drifter.

Cheers buddy, anything with rapid flashing can cause problems for people, I'm not epileptic but it can cause havoc on the eyes.

What I'm going to do is replace it with a normal image. If the flashing is hard on the eyes and is related to epilepsy issues, I can't in good conscience leave it that way. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

I stumbled upon this freeware for resizing regular images. It's simple and very fast. I scanned it with Avast and Malwarebytes before the setup. Seems good.

Gifs actually detract from the forum experience for me and they annoy me. I don't know how others feel about this.

Myself, I find Gifs add some flavor to a forum. My name is Jason, so I think it's cool to add some Gifs that kind of relate to me. Just last night I murdered six people. Three with a machete, and 3 with an axe. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Animated gifs are a collection of pictures contained within a .gif file so to reize you would have to resize each picture inside of it

if you download a free opensource image editor called Gimp
http://www.gimp.org/

And this tutorial on using gimp to resize an animated gif which should help you out
http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/87/t1191994-gimp-tut-gif-animation-resizing/

That should allow you to do what you needed, although i have not tried it myself.


Not a big fan of flashing gifs either although i have them turned off in firefox so it is now not a problem for me .

You can do this by typing
about:config
in the address bar it will take you to another section which will ask you to be careful or here be dragons click button saying you will be careful and this allows you to edit alot of settings in firefox.

Type this "image.animation_mode" into the search bar and double click box should come up that says Enter string value, change it from "normal" to "none" and should remove those flashing images which makes viewing many sites so much nicer .

Hope that helps.

Gimp is the best free photo editor. I use it for everything, and it is like Photoshop (which I have also used), but free.
