I'm trying to set a simple turning animation of my logo as my profile picture, Its half a second long, 15fps, (though I've tried down to 5fps) and, obviously, 75x, and people say that the size limit is 2kb, but i've uploaded larger then that and have had it set, the static version of this profile picture i'm using right now as i type this is about 3.5kb, and thats cutting some corners for the sake of size already, the lowest i can possibly get this animated version is 16.2kb, theres nothing i can do to it beyond that to make it any smaller, while still being presentable, so i was thinking to myself "How the hell do people get around this size problem?! I've seen plenty of profile pictures that are more complex then this." So i look around and i see Conan's spinning cake, perfect example, its high quality, it's high fps, low number of frames probably, so i right click saved it, and wouldgya look at that,
24kb! So i say to myself, oohh! It must work differently for GIFs, so i compile a decent 15fps framerate version of my profile picture, 75x75 resolution, 7 total frames playing at 15fps, coming in at a total size of 25.2 kb, uploaded it, and it actually removed my most recent picture and set it to a previous avatar without my sayso, so i'm like... ok? so i try to set it to the crappiest lightest version i have, 75x, 5fps, about 2-3 total frames, 11kb, just reverts my profile picture again, I have no idea what is going on, can someone please clear this up for me, because i searched like hell and found nothing but "75x75 2kb max" when there isn't even a 2kb maximum.
