Chris has a point, especially when your gifs don't use transparency. If you save your png as an indexed, rather than rgb, color image, or grayscale, if that is appropriate, you will achieve smaller file sizes than gif can. And if you run a png optimizer afterward, you will get better results, still. I created a test image 400x300 pixels and filled it with a gradient from upper left to lower right (white to black). Then saved it as a gif. It was 58.5 KB. After re-saving it as a grayscale png and optimizing it using optipng, it was 18.5 KB. -- 73, AC7ZZ http://counter.li.org/ Linux User #246504 _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
