How Do You Lower The Size Of Gif Images

I want to use a GIF for my profile picture, but it keeps saying it's too big. How do you decrease the size?

Or, you could probably ask someone to do it in Requests. I think.
I dunno why I linked to it.. Bad habit, I guess.

Go to tinypic.com and upload it in a smaller size. Then you can save the smaller version of the picture and use that as your profile pic.

I could only upload it in the normal size.

There should be a dropdown menu by resize; click the arrow and select what size you want the picture to be.

I tried resizing it, but then it lost the animation.

Oh, it's an animation? Then you might have to download gimp and resize it with that.

Re: How Do You Lower The Size Of Gif Images

Actually I'm trying to lower the size of the file, not the picture. Anybody have ways to do that?
