Hi,

I am having a hard time, looking for a gif site in which I can upload Full HD gif. However, most popular gif sites I used, it will uplaod but reduce the size to less than 800x800 and I would like to be set as the same size to what I have uploaded. Kindly ask for recommendation and thank you

MAL limits the maximum image size to something like 5 MB, there's no way to bypass this.

You should have created this thread on the Support board, not here

Where are you trying to post the image too?

On the list, there should be no restrictions, however it is hard to find a hosting site.
Imgur and postimages.org works sometimes for this, but I think Dropbox should work best in this case for GIFs with a large resolution?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbszih10jpr87xw/gif%20test%202.gif

For outside the list on the forums, profiles, blogs, etc, Imgur can host a GIF of large size but resizes their dimensions I think. Try
https://postimages.org/
but they have a limit on the file size of about 25mb. And MAL still resized the GIF dimensions from 1600px across to whatever the post width is XD



You can use GIFs like this on your list and there should be no restrictions, but if you want to post it to MAL, it needs to be under 10MB i think, and a lot of people lower the size with this site

@Chizuru_Mizuhara you should upload it to postimages then. If it's the file size is too big for MAL it will show up as a broken file icon. Is the GIF under 10mb?

If it's not, upload it to postimages anyways and give me the link, and maybe I can resize it to under 10mb while maintaining the size dimensions :D

https://ezgif.com/resize is what I used to get my avatar. Playing around with the storage reduction and such will help decrease file size.

@Chizuru_Mizuhara try uploading the GIF to Dropbox, if you link us we can try to resize it to under 10MB. The thing is going from 67mb to under 10mb will probably mean a lot of frames get cut and the quality goes down a lot :/

The maximum is just under 10MB. This version is under 10MB and still 1920px across. It can be uploaded to Imgur

Awesome :D also the best way to make anime GIFs imo is to use Camtasia or Free Cam, I have a whole video on it. You'll convert the actual frames of anime into frames for a GIF for good quality and you have a lot of control over the size and cropping.

Some people laugh at me and say its better to use command line and other tools, but when I look at their GIFs they are shit quality or they don't work in Windows lol.
