Hey guys I need some help. What is the best way to reduce the file size of a .gif ? I need to remove ~14KB :)
Are there any programs/online sites that can do this? (inb4 let me google that for you)
I already reduced it with photoshop. I should also mention: I don't want to lose so much quality (I know .gif is already a bit low quality)

Thanks! :thumbsup:

Could you give me a link please? The only one I can find is "A Smaller Gif", and it won't let me install. Wherever I download it from, I get an error when I try to install it on my computer.

You can posterize it... should be image > adjustments > Posterize. It will lose some quality but depending on how big the original file is might not be too much.
Play around with that setting and also save for web and devices afterwards... This is what I know, hope it helps.
