As you know, an Avatar must have a maximum size of 1.5 Mb.

I proceed as follows:

1. I work the image in Photoshop with the dimensions 150x250;

2. Then, I turn the image into video through After effects;

3. And at the end, with the Photoshop I transform the video created into a Gif.

You can work the image directly in After effects, but it will have much more MBs (megabytes). And of course, much better clarity. While you try you will see ...

(It's just a suggestion! Everyone does as they please.)

1. Work your image in Photoshop, give it the size 150x250. ( As I said, you can skip this option ... )

2. After I gave it the dimensions 150x250, I put the avatar in After effects. I work it with effects. ( With a lot of effects and more than 3-5 seconds, I say that it will exceed 1.5 Mb and will not be able to use it in the forum profile. )

When you finished your work.
Click on Add to Render Queue
To choose the format of your video. (I suggest .AVI)
The place to Save the video.
After choosing the format and location of the save. Click on Render.

3. Done! Now back to Photoshop. Drag your work directly on Photoshop.

After you drag your work over Photoshop, It's going to have to look something like this.
Click File / Export / Save for web = to create the Gif.
Now check your work if have more 1.5 mb
In my case my work has 3.8 mb., I am obliged to cut from it until I reach 1.5 mb
