i used to edit the file in a hex editor (HxD), and replace the last three characters (..;) with

78 6D 70 20 64 61 74 61 78 6D 70 FF 3F 78 70 61 63 6B 65 74 20 62 65 67 69 6E 3D 22 EF BB BF 22 20 69 64 3D 22 57 35 4D 30 4D 70 43 65 68 69 48 7A 72 65 53 7A 4E 54 63 7A 6B 63 39 64 22 3F 3E 20 3C 78 3A 78 6D 70 6D 74 61 20 78 6D 6C 6E 73 3A 78 3D 22 61 64 6F 62 65 3A 6E 73 3A 6D 65 74 61 2F 22 20 78 3A 78 6D 70 74 6B 3D 22 41 64 6F 62 65 20 58 4D 50 20 43 6F 72 65 20 35 2E 33 2D 63 30 31 31 20 36 36 2E 31 34 35 36 36 31 2C 20 32 30 31 32 2F 30 32 2F 30 36 2D 31 34 3A 35 36 3A 32 37 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 22 3E 3C 72 64 66 3A 52 44 46 20 78 6D 6C 6E 73 3A 72 64 66 3D 22 68 74 74 70 3A 2F 2F 77 77 77 2E 77 2E 6F 72 67

your method looks better than mine

hey now that convo is 9 months old i was young and stupid

HOW MANY LIES NAT. HOW MANY LIES

also ezgif splitter is better than gif explode imo, tho i guess there's not much difference

u actually dont need to save it as a jpg that was a lie.

[7/3/2015 6:34:40 PM] Sonrio: my internet is soooo slow
[7/3/2015 6:34:42 PM] Natalie: in order to set your thumbnail, you gotta set it as your avi before you change your avi to the gif
[7/3/2015 6:35:03 PM] Natalie: if you want a still frame from the gif you're using to be your thumbnail, use this: https://www.gif-explode.com/
[7/3/2015 6:35:10 PM] Natalie: but you can use image
[7/3/2015 6:36:43 PM] Natalie: next, once you have notepad++ downloaded
[7/3/2015 6:36:48 PM] Natalie: open the gif file in notepad plus
[7/3/2015 6:37:14 PM] Natalie: it'll show you a bunch of code and weird symbols and ; scroll down to the very bottom and the last character should be a semicolon
[7/3/2015 6:37:26 PM] Natalie: delete the semicolon and add the contents of this pastebin: http://pastebin.com/sWSfyyVM
[7/3/2015 6:37:36 PM] Natalie: then save it as a .jpg
[7/3/2015 6:37:43 PM] Natalie: just manually type in .jpg in the file name
[7/3/2015 6:37:52 PM] Natalie: then upload that as your EM avi
[7/3/2015 6:38:06 PM] Natalie: iit'll say "there was an error"
[7/3/2015 6:38:13 PM] Natalie: but it will work if you clear your cache and view your profile

there's just a big long code block u gotta paste to the end of the file deets

Katie says

pls tell me you were joking about the codey witchcraft

no? it's not hard u just gotta edit the file in a editor program like Notepad++

Cropping gifs is God's power

pls tell me you were joking about the codey witchcraft

and ofc u gotta make sure u do all the weird codey witchcraft to the file

image size shouldn't matter, though I always reduce to 100x100 just because EM will do that anyway. afaik it just needs to be below 500mb

shut up
