This tutorial will instruct you in how to resize in Gif Animator 5.

The original animation below is 300x300 and 40,120 kbs.  The resized animation shown above is 150x150 and 21,095 kbs.  Resizing not only reduces the dimensions of your animation but can also dramatically reduce the kbs and load time (more than optimizing).

All frames will be reduced to the size you entered.  Preview your animation.  If you're satisfied with the results, go to File, Optimization Wizard and optimize and save your resized animation.

 

I hope you've enjoyed this tutorial.
