"How to enlarge a GIF"

Evenin',

I need to know how to make a GIF image larger. Paint doesn't do this and I don't have any big dudey programs like photoshop or PSP. Is there a - preferably free - program to do this for me? It would need to be easy to use too as I'm not all that bright lately!

Thanks

Your pretty limited as GIF's are indexed so pixleate when enlarged. Photoshop is probably your best bet as you can convert the image back to working RGB which handles resizing much better.

Just found this http://www.gifworks.com/

I think it is a great tool.

For a free graphics package you could try GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) which has good reviews: www.gimp.org

Or if you're trying to use them as an image online, just use "width / height" equalling larger.

increaing the width/height attributes will only cause the image to pixleate as it cannot resample the image quality. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT!
