O.P. Picture Compression
Is it possible to reduce the size of a gif pic ??
If so then please do it for this image of about 17.3 kb. I would like it to be about 15 kb (or less so i can use it as an avatar though i am looking for a personal avatar with my name :dodgy:)
Plz help.

Can this even be done ???

RE: Picture Compression
well,

normally you can change the colordepth of a gif file, but this one is animated and I'm not able to decrease the colordepth.

If you look at my avatar: I had to change the colordepth from 16 to 8 bit, resizing it from 21k to 8k. (I created the avatar on some site, but I lost the correct URL)

have fun...:P

The other option is to remotely host the image file, like I do.

Edit: Just out of interest, my avatar is 203kB...
