Information Guide On Uploading Gif Display picture successfully. (1 Viewer)

Make sure you pick a non resource intensive gif, a long one is technically a video which would not work and fail when uploading to our forum.

Guide for gif display pictures to upload successfully.

1. Anything below 20 frames will have a good chance to upload successfully.
2. Make sure you optimize the image to be below 800kb.
3. Upload the gif & wait till the page refresh with your new display picture, dont reload page manually. If it fails (you will get a security error pop up), optimize it more or remove more frames.

Use ezgif to remove frames & optimize your gifs.

Animated GIF editor and GIF maker

Personally i will head over to this section on ezgif Animated GIF optimizer (free online tool) and use drop frames method & select remove every 2nd frame. After that i will optimize it by selecting lossy gif & set the slider to around 30 - 35 to reduce its size. What works for me might not for you, so just experiment and do it by trial & error.

I think my one was 24 frames and 1 MB and it works perfectly so don't feel the need to compress too much yall

Does the size affect the likelihood of the gif to upload at all?

I've been working a 178 x 194 px gif down for a while now and yet I still cannot upload it.
