avator

[bjunderwood]

i am trying to create an avator and after i finally got the pic small enough, this came up:

The uploaded file is not a valid GIF, JPG, or PNG file. Please ensure that it is and try again.

can someone please help me out?

What file type is it? Is it a BMP? The avatar must be a GIF, JPG, or PNG... If you are using MS-Paint, open up the image and when you click "Save as," in the drop down box choose JPG... or GIF... just so long as it isn't a BMP... If you're still having trouble, then I don't know... lol

While on this subject, I am making an avatar for myself and it says it is to big (memory-wise). How do you compress a file for free?

Changing file types can help. GIF is probably the best to use if a bit of color loss isn't important to you.

It is already a .gif file. It is an animated one with 4 "slides". 3 slides were MSpaint white background with lettering on it and one photo. It still says the file is too big.
