How to Use a GIF image for Elakiri profile picture
Step 1.
Search internet for a small size gif image (19.5KB or below in size) that you would like to be your profile pic. If you already have the wanted gif image in your computer that's fine.
Step 2.
Elakiri only support 90*90px(width and height) or lesser in size gif images and all images must be 19.5KB or below.
So most of the time we have to use a way to resize images' width and height. I used below website for that and recommend it. (You can use whatever way you like though)
http://ezgif.com/resize
Go to this website and upload your gif image by either pasting image location url in text box there or browsing in your computer by clicking browse button. (If somehow url doesn't seem to be recognized you have to save image to your computer first and use 'Browse' button to upload it.)
When you locate your gif image by any of above two methods click the 'Upload' button.
Step 3.
When you clicked the 'Upload' button you are prompted to input new width and height for the uploaded gif. Input 90 for both height and width.
Then you have few options to choose for the 'Resize method' in the below drop down box there. Choose 'Gifsicle' from those three for the Resize method.
Then click the 'Resize' button. Then your resized gif image will be displayed right below the same page.
Step 4.
Right click on output gif and click 'Save as' option or just click the 'Save' button in the output box to save your new gif.
Step 5.
Go to 'Elakiri Control Panel' and choose 'Edit Avatar' under the 'Settings and Options' list. Then click on 'Use Custom Avatar' and and then click 'Browse' button to locate your saved gif image. After you located it, click the 'Save Changes' button below. That's all!
Thank you!
