Hi All,

Previous posted link can help to resize your Avatar in term of Dimension.

Now found another way to resize your Avatar in term of file size (Kb). It called "GIF Optimizer" which help to reduce file size to 11.4Kb (SBF limitation).

# Compress & Reduce Size of Animated .GIF Images Upto 90%


So combine using GIF Resizer and GIF Optimizer, you can have more choice of Avatar.

Share some experience...
- too complicated animated avatar after resized to 65 x 65 dimension, it become normal Gif file which won't move.
- too big file size (Kb) cannot be lesser than 11.4 Kb even compress to the limit by using GIF Optimizer.
- try to search for Avatar which riginal size less than 40Kb which higher chance to meet SBF Avatar limit. Save effort and time...

You need to get out of moderation first before you can upload animated gifs.
