How to Make Animated .gifs under the size limit on tumblr.

[skylilies]

So now you've made your gif using the general gif making tutorial, but you want to be able to upload it to tumblr, which has a few more requirements.

For tumblr, a gif must be under 1MB, and the size dimensions must be under 500x500 pixels. (you also may have to experiment with the width sizes of your gifs some, because some widths will freeze out

I think tumblr has increased the gif size to 1.4 mb, i have tested it. And the frame is not more than 45 frames.

Proof? Check out one of my cosplay gif http://cosplaysleepeatplay.tumblr.com/post/55868857643/borderland-cosplay-gif

Hi! Thanks for this. Super helpful.

I'm trying to make gifs from videos, and I need them to be in 500px by 500px, but of course under 1G. Is this possible without distorting the video too much?
