Threve Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Good Evening everyone. I am attempting to upload a GIF Profile picture using GIFY. The website that allows you to turn a video into a GIF for a profile picture. The only problem is the server only allows GIF images lower than 0.94296847 something MB. Is it possible to increase the limit or would this lead to problems for you guys. Idk how much GIF images typically are. However my image is a little larger I would guess in size because I converted from FRAPS to AVI to GIF. If there is a website that makes smaller GIFs and it is a problem from this website then I would gladly use a suggested site as well. Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChopBam Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 The limit exists with good reason. It keeps the loading/bandwidth overhead much lower and faster on forum thread pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWA Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Let me doublecheck the settings, because 0.94296847 sounds like a crazy number. Edit: You should have a 2MB allowance for your profile pic. Gifs are naturally rather large, so you might want to use a piece of software like ScreenToGif in order to compress them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedisclaimitory Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 (edited) I can agree I tried getting this gif that currently using and it took thousand times to find one gif on google that was less or at 2MG or what ever that crazy number is and I was basicly hunting down for this gif that im using that was a smaller one and thats when I found this one but yeah its kind of crazy but I could not agree more with you both OWA and Threve ,gifs are rather large but the does not mean we cant have a 2MG gif but we should be able to some how decrease this number and in order to do that I think we should consider using that gif compressing software or just create your own and then compress them but yeah its a crazy number 0.94296847... yeah pretty big but maybe small... Who knows I totally work at AT&T I should know this oh wait they fired me because I tried to get data out of some ones at&t cable to get free tv... $&%@. well on that note never do what I did I really hope you dont do it but really please dont do it ,and make gifs smaller again please I want meme gifs to be smaller and I might consider getting this software gif compressor but in the meantime have a nice day and note that true C&C fans are always great and again have a nice day Edited September 20, 2018 by thedisclaimitory words looked worng to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonsense715 Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 @Threve I recommend alphaing out the background of the pink tractor, your magic trick is busted on any other theme that is not APB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is when i alpha it out, it turns black in an attempt to fix the empty space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danpaul88 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Make sure to save it as PNG because jpg doesn't support alpha channels 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the website is trying to comp for the invisible part (The Alpha) Edited September 23, 2018 by Threve 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking "view image" shows the favicon to be correct, but the alpha channel is overwritten due to the forum software. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danpaul88 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's possible the forum image resizing code is outputting it as jpg - perhaps it deliberately doesn't allow alpha in profile images 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
