changing the size of gif files?

Question

does anyone know how to change the size of a gif file. need to shrink the size and have no idea on how to do it.

please help.

Answer 1

get any half decent graphics program. Photoshop would be ideal, but GIMP (google it) is a free and really powerful FREE and legit image editing program. open the gif, resize it and save it to another file format, probably a JPEG

Answer 2

The easiest way to shrink the file size is in MS Paint to literally shrink the image. You also change the file type to something smaller like a jpeg.

Answer 3

If you have a photo editing package, then open the image then you should be able to do something called compressing the file, or saving it at a lower resolution willl change the file size, however this will also reduce the image quality.
