    Hey ppl,

    I have a gif banner that i need downsized from 34kb to 30kb.

    Dimensions should stay the same, and quality can go down a bit.

    Tried with adobe stuff but couldnt get it to do it. It just got bigger :confused:

    Anybody know how do you make it smaller?

    When you open it in Photoshop, go to "Image -> Image Size". (Alt+Ctrl+I)

    Make sure you have selected "Constrain Proportions". Then simply change the 34 to 30 and click OK, and you're done.

    He/she means the file size, not the image size.
    -----
    Just open it with Photoshop > Save for Web > Then choose like 64 or something colors.

    dancom is right. Mess with the settings like # of colors and dither, it will tell you what the new file size is in the preview window before you save it.
