Answer 1

Change the file format to a medium-resolution .jpeg

Answer 2

If you cannot compress (zip) it, re-size, or crop. You leave very few if any choices at all.

The only thing I can think of is change the type of image.
1) Another format like jpg might be better.
2) Change the type of gif depending on # on colors you are using. Can you change it to a 16 bit gif instead of a 256 etc...

Why can't you zip it? That would be the best course of action.

Answer 3

I presume you mean an animated gif. there are things you can do to cut down the size "Cutting down the pixel dimensions is probably the single best way to decrease the file size of GIF images. Cutting down the number of frames in an animated GIF is right up there with it."

Answer 4

If you want to shrink the file size, then here are some tips, 1 - Use WinRar (www.winrar.com) or just have less pixels on the picture. Hope I Helped

Answer 5

decrease the type of colorings via mistakes diffusion like in Paint save professional, Photoshop. operating example, going from 24 bit coloration to 256 colorings can dramatically decrease the document length. If that is an lively Gif (if that is what you recommend by technique of 'strikes round'), try reducing the body fee.

Answer 6

resave it as a jpeg possibly
