This is an easy tutorial on how to Optimize (
compress) an image at Gifbot.I`ll take you step by step through the process.
1
-First you`ll need the url of the image you want to resize.
The easiest way to get the address is to click onto the graphic you want to resize and bring up your "Go To" window and then click the "Show Current" button.
That will put the url address of your graphic into the "Go To" window.
Now you need to highlight the address by putting your cursor into the "Go To" window and hold down your
"Cmd" key and click your
"A" key.
After highlighting the address you need to copy it by holding your
"Cmd" key down and clicking your
"C" key.
Now that you have copied your address it`s time to take it to-
Gifbot
2-Scroll down the right column until you come to
#1-Enter the image url.
To do that put your cursor in the http window and delete http://
Then with your cursor in the http:// window,hold down your
"Cmd" key and click your
"V" key.That will paste your graphics url address into the http:// window.
3-Scroll down to
#2 and enter your email address there.
4-Scroll down to
#3 and select your graphics output form from these selections:
Same as input type
Display image as GIF
Display image as JPEG
Both GIF and JPEG
A JPEG has less bytes then a GIF so I always choose "Display image as JPEG" if it`s an nonanimated graphic (all animated graphics need to be output as a gif)
JPEG`s are less byte size then a GIF so they load faster then a GIF.A jpeg and a jpg are the same and when you upload your image to Pagebuilder your jpeg will be renamed jpg in your scrapbook.
5-Go down to
#4 and click the Test Now button.
6-On the next page you`ll see multiples of your image,each one with a little less color in it.Choose the one that you can live with and Click onto it.
7-Now bring up your "Go To"
window and click "Show Current"
your resized graphic url address will be in your "Go To" window.
Hold down your
"Cmd" key and click your
"A" key to highlight the address
Then hold down your
"Cmd" key and click your
"C" key to copy the address
8-Take your new address to
webscissors
and put your cursor into the "http:// window"
Delete the http://
then hold down your
"Cmd" key and tap your
"V" key to paste your graphics url into the http window.
Click the "Show Images" button right below the http:// window
9-On next page click onto your image and a pop up window will come up stating
"You are about to add an image to your scrapbook
Do you wish to continue"
Click "Continue" and your graphic will be loaded into your scrapbook.
