How do I upload a .gif avatar?

/title

When I try uploading gifs it gives me the, "Your attachment couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information." message

it does this with every gif I try uploading, I've resized it to 74x74 and 75x75

is there a reason for this, do I need to edit the .gif file in some way?

The file size is probably too large, I'm not sure what the max file size is, but there is one.

Compress it

One of these will work

see if there is metadata or whatever that is

upload it to imgur then use that to be uploaded to your avatar

The file size is 654,954, too big?

thats not a file size

[The Murderous Cop]

Specific size.

75kb, 75x75 dimensions.

I know, it's weird, but we all have to live with it.

Squeeze it into a smaller file space

What

[Regirock]

75kb

How do I see the file size?

[The Resonte!]

What

654kb probably

How do I see the file size?

usually on the explorer folder thing when you highlight the image or gif or whatever

[Regirock]

654kb probably

Yes, it only showed 654k so I assumed it meant a thousand.

Does it have to be 75kb specifically?

[The Resonte!]

Does it have to be 75kb specifically?

it depends on how the forums is feeling at the moment

it can be less but i'm not sure about more the forums is finnicky about avatars

[Maxwell.]

71kb is too big

assuming you're talking about a single gif here, post it
