Flag Will Not Work as a GIF

Postby Mathuvan Union » Wed Jun 17, 2020 12:18 pm

My flag (which is meant to work like a GIF) does not work like that, instead shows a regular flag that is basically just a picture of the start
Behind the free market lies the iron fist of the state - the one thing I learned from The Blaatschapen, excluding how to say sheep in dutch.
Update: apparently it’s bleating sheep.

Well the first question that needs to be answered is this: does the GIF you're trying to use fit within the GIF flag limits of having a 'filesize is under 150kB and the image fits within 321x213 pixels'?

I believe so.

my question is...
do you have to edit the download thing before?
my next question is...
do you have to go on another website to get my flag to do that?

You have to create a GIF file with the animation you want (check how to do that on Google, there are probably some programs you can download to your computer for that). Then you have to ensure that the file is under the limits mentioned above, i.e. "filesize is under 150kB and the image fits within 321x213 pixels". Then you can upload the GIF file to your nation page.

1) no
2) go onto google search up '(insert here) gif' then right click it and click save image as. go to your setting, click on create your own flag, then clikc on that file.
