I can't upload a freaking GIF :(

Petersimon · Feb 17th 2013, 3:47am

I want to put a gif on my signature, but it's not working, it always says the same problem "The image "http://gifs.gifbin.com/052009/1243594993_cupcakedog-war-flashbacks.gif" exceeds the allowed maximum size. The maximum size is 600*200 pixels and 1 MB."

And I never had this problem in other forums...So, I don't know what's happening, I mean, where can I find gifs with that size ? Or how do I edit them ? I don't know D:
How do I freaking upload a gif for my signature ? :L

It'll slow down the way the page's loaded ya know?

This gif is 2.98mt. The only way would be to cut plenty of frames out.

EDIT: I realized I didn't really answer HOW to do it... well, I actually don't know... but give it some time, maybe someone else can help you.

pixel size: 256px × 195px
file size: 3,059.07 KB <that's the problem right there.

You need to reduce the filesize of the gif, probably by editing it, skipping every alternate frame or reducing the coloured pixel number of the gif. Let us know if you need help doing this.
