I know there has been a thread on this before, but I didn't want to necro it, and the question wasn't really answered.

Basically I want to make this:

usable as my avatar, but every time I resize it, it stops being animated. Any help would be appreciated.

A brief prodding around with it in an online image editor gives this:



Although as you can see, it's not exactly great quality. You might want to hit up Caramel Frappe, he has quite a lot of experience in making avatar-appropriate GIFs.

How are you resizing? Sometimes programs can't resize animated gifs and just resize the first frame. Also the Escapist will do the same thing until it meets the size that they say. (150 by 150 I think for the pub club)

The long way is getting every frame of the gif then resizing each one and then reanimating them through Gimp or another program.
That's the only way I know sorry; I'm not too experienced with them either.

Can't you just use Gimp?
It's not exactly a time consuming process, but I don't think the gif looks very good so small.
