Animated graphic files with the extension GIF are very popular on the Internet. However, many sites still have restrictions on the size of the loaded hyphae. Therefore, today we want to present the ways that you can change the height and width of such images.
How to change the size of gif
Since the GIF is a frame sequence, not a separate picture, change the file size in such a format is not easy: you will need an advanced graphic editor. The most popular today are Adobe Photoshop and its free analogue of GIMP - on their example we will show you this procedure.
As you can see, with the task of changing the size of GIMP gif animation, it copes great. The only disadvantage can be called the complexity of the process for inexperienced users and brakes in working with volume images.
Method 2: Adobe Photoshop
Photoshop The latest version is the most functional graphic editor among those presented in the market. Naturally, it is present in it the possibility of changing the size of GIF animations.
- Open the program. First, select "Window". In it, go to the Operating Environment menu and activate the "Movement" item.
- Next, open the file whose sizes want to change. To do this, select File Points - Open.
Run "Explorer". Block the folder in which the target image is stored, highlight it with the mouse and click on the "Open" button.
- Animation will be loaded into the program. Pay attention to the "time scale" panel - it displays all frames of the editable file.
- To resize, use the "Image" item in which you select the "Image Size" option.
The width and height of the picture will open. Make sure that the units are set to the "Pixels" position, then enter the values you need in the "Width" and "height" fields. The remaining settings can not be touched. Check the parameters and click "OK".
- To save the result, use the file "File" in which you select the Export option, and then "export for the Web (old version) ...".
The settings in this window are also better not to change, because immediately press the "Save" button at the bottom of the work area of the export utility.
- Select the location of the changed GIF in the "Explore", rename if necessary and click "Save".
After that, Photoshop can be closed.
- Check the result in the specified folder while saving the folder.
Photoshop is a faster and more convenient way to resize gif animation, but there are also disadvantages: the program is paid, and the validity of the trial version is too short.
