How to reduce the size of an animated gif file
 

I have this animated gif which is very large-almost 400 k, and the free host I work with will not allow any files over 250 k.

Now, is there anyone I can reduce this, I tried it with Paint Shop Pro but when you resize it , the animation is lost.

Thanks for any.:helpme

You gotta use animation shop not paint shop

I would recommend Adobe Imageready, it's included in Photoshop - and that is a must have anyway :)

Try animated penis pills:(
Sorry couldn't help it, wish I knew the answer to that one myself:helpme

less colors, less frames, with fireworks or any other

Better still but if you're trying to do it in painshop you prolly don't have that. Animation shop is more basic but optimizes OK and usually comes bundled with paintshop.
Click on 'files' 'other JASC products' to find it

I have the Animation Shop, but when I try to open it, it says a JFF.DLL file is missing-is there any way I can put this back in to get it to work?

like http said, try fireworks, reduce the colours etc.

Ulead GIF Animator works well..

check this out: Image Crunchers

It's free.. and works well with both transparent and animated gif.

Questions questions questions... hehehe
