A 1.84mb animated gif gave me a 24.1mb card.
A 3.72mb gif gave me a 26.4mb card.
Is there any way to optimize the file size?
Thank you!
Hm it is normal that animated cards a atleast twice as big the original gif because the entire gif is encoded inside the metadata to make it possible to edit cards just by using their image.
But 24.1mb from a 1.84 mb file sounds realy extreme.
I know that in the current version are some bugs i already fixed in my dev. version.
Could you please upload the source images? So that i can try that by myself.
Edit: When i create an animated card with a 5 mb gif file i get a 13 mb card which is ok from my point of view 8mb = card + 5 mb encoded file + overhead
