before you tell me to post in the request topic, I want to learn how to do this myself instead of having someone else do it.

So, if anyone knows how i can do this, pm me.

It's a very simple 3 frame .gif

but sadly the file size is nearly 200kb and I want to get it 70 or under so i can use it as a sig.

You can search gif size reducer and upload it through there or try the posterize filter in photoshop

or in your case first posterize then gif size reducer via google

You can reduce the file size by..

- Reducing the number of frames (since it's already 3 frames, you're out of luck here)
- Reducing the length/width of the image
- Reducing the amount of colors used

If you're using photoshop, you'll want to use 'save for web', which will bring up the options to reduce the amount of colors used when you export it.

You can also save file size by adding more static areas to the sig where stuff isn't really moving. Maybe post the image to make suggestions?

sweet, thanks guys
