ub3rman123 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 You have to upload the image to a website like Photobucket first. Once you've done that, you can copy the URL and use it with tags to make it appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option #1: Resize the image dimensions to be smaller and thus, smaller file size. Option #2: Change the file type to JPG and increase the amount of compression until the filesize is achieved. Both options will reduce the image quality. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thandal Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Presuming the OP is using Windows, "MS-Paint" will also resize and/or convert formats, and it's already built-in! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 If the OP can't be bothered to re-save an image file, I doubt anything would suffice. Not really sure why the question was asked. Time wasted on the forums: +1 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoofhearted4 Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 ill try the MS paint option when i have time. but idc enough for an avatar to download anything and mess with it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDStudios Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I use MS paint for quick job file sizes. However if I intend to work on the image a little more I use Gimp.Very good tool that is excellent considering it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
