Simple question,how do you resize a gif?(an still keep it animated)

I haven't tried it on an animated gif but I assume it's still the same. There are plenty of free downloads or trial versions of software if you put 'image resize' into google.

Or even try www.tucows.com

If you want to display the gif image in a web page then you can use HTML to resize it on the page as so <img src="yourimage.gif" height="XX" width="YY">

If you are looking to resize it similar to a regular flat image then you won't be able to do this easily without the original images that made up the animated gif.

Download a gif animation software pack from download.com or similar. Open up the animated gif, you'll see that it's made up of a series of flat gif images that simulate the animation (like a flicker book). You might be able to save each image individually and then resize each one to the same dimension.

Now you have to re-assemble the animated gif image. Look at the original. Each image will have certain properties around it - copy each property and then resave.

If you've got some fancy software like ImageReady (part of Adobe Photoshop) it will do it for you and keep the animation...

Paintshop pro comes with a gif editor which is what i used to do mine.
