Hi guys,

I need help in resizing the 3 gifs that I attached to fit the s700 screen (240 x 320). Anyone who has a kind heart out there, can you please re-attach them here or PM them to me?

Thanks.

@Greggy: they can be resized with an animated gif editor, I used Animation Shop Pro, that cames with Paint Shop Pro.

Thanks a lot sunfury!

Also did a bit of research while waiting for replies here in esato. And I found that GIFWorks (.com or something) offers a free online tool to resize Gif files as well.

Now another question, is there a way to not resize the gif itself but to just add sort of like a black margin around it?

edit: added a question.

I guess you can do all you want. I checked with Animation Shop Pro, there isn't such option as "insert frame" but other editors may offer good solutions.

Even if they don't, you can always extract the animation, edit frame by frame with any graphics editor, then re-unite them. For example, you can use Paint Shop Pro/Animation Shop Pro combination or any other software.

I think Photoshop can do that.

AFAIK Photoshop doesn't deal with animated GIF files, it's Adobe ImageReady that can be used to manipulate animated GIF.

Hope this help.

Is any of the software that you mentioned above free? Like downloadeable or something?

No. Photoshop it's not a freeware.

@T-Shirt
Yes, I mean Adobe Image Ready that comes with Adobe Photoshop package.
I usually use Image Ready to edit or resize GIF animated pictures for editing themes for my phones.

So there's no gif file resizer available out there for free?

I was using Gifworks.com before but now it's telling me that it can only handle files way below 400kb. And I want to resize a couple of 300kb files...

ulead gif animator resizes gif files. It isnt free but reinstalling it after the trial period does the trick.

The Esato wallpaper upload will resize your image for most phone display sizes. Probably not the easiest way to do it, but it works.

Thanks for the tip laffen. However, it's still saying that the file i'm uploading is too big.

That's why I decided to try the Ulead Gif Animator that CrazyBus proposed. And tell you what, it works perfectly!

Thanks again CrazyBus! (This is the second time you solved my problems. )
