When you save the file, use Save for Web. When the screen pops up you can adjust the size with the slide bar. Look below the image and it will show you what the size will be when saved... You can also pick from gif or jpeg... depending on the requirements... |

A lot of times the GIF will be a smaller file size if you don't have many colors, as it can get rid of shading and such. It doens't have to have color info imbedded for every pixel like a jpg does.

Only way to make your avy bigger I belive is to buy a gold or blue star otherwise size limit is 100X100.

As slowrockr said, your star depends on what size you can upload. Green you get 100X100 5kb Gold you get 150X150 20kb Blue you get 150X150 260kb I can probably do the pic to the right size kb and pixels you want, just PM me.  | |

I need help as well with setting a new avatar, every time I click save changes it tells me that it is not a "valid image file". Does anybody know what I could do fix it?
