Freeware Program That Lets You Reset .GIF Settings?
I have XnView, an excellent freeware graphics converter.
XnView usually lets you select how many colors or whatever you want when you decide to save a graphic in .GIF. The number of colors largely determines how large the file is.
However, if the graphic is in .GIF and you want to save it after making changes, XnView won't let you select different colors, etc.
I have some scanned pages. I normally send scans via Email using .GIF for the file type. I don't do OCR, and .GIF yields usable file sizes.
These scans are too big to send without changing the .
GIF setting, which I now cannot do. Even if I convert the scans to bitmap or whatever and convert back, I cannot change the .GIF settings.
Is there a freeware program which lets you take a .GIF file and resave it with new settings, like 64 colors instead of 256? This way, I can shrink file size.
