How can I reduce the size of an animated gif without losing the quality of the gif?

If it's from live video, you can't. GIF is a horrible format for a continuous spectrum of colors; it's meant to be used for simple cartoon graphics that have very few colors (like logos and banners for webpages or small graphics).

These are the kind of graphics animated gifs are meant to be used for:

Small images with few colors and only a few frames rendered.

Reducing the size always affects the quality.

You have a certain amount of pixels in every picture.

Not for something like JPEG. You can compress the hell out of JPEG images with minimal differences in perceptible quality.

GIF is lossless and already well-compressed, so reducing the space needed for a GIF image is pretty much a non-starter.

What do you want made into a GIF? It may be better to take the AVI ,DVD, or cartoon file and make your own GIF like this one.

Use Adobe Image ready or cool 3D studios it can make any GIF large or small and keep the quality!
