It needs to be under 7 KB.

Disclaimer: Ryan Smith said I'm wrong and the limit is actually 25 KB

Just found it - Avatar wasn't showing originally.

It won't accept my new one when I click ok. Probably the file size as mentioned above.

What's a good image editor for the iPhone. I'm stuck at 33kb

Any app to convert to GIF (online ones, too) should be able to get it down in size.

Or upload it to tinypic or other host and I'll do it for you when I get home.

Mine was 5.27KB after editing (I resized it), perhaps that's why it worked.

Thanks for the offer. I'm away from my computer. I'll find an online converter.

Used a totally different pic for my avatar, and decreased its quality so that it'll be around 7 KB... and it worked!

I used your suggestion and stuck with around 7 KB for the file size (quality got compromised, but whatevs).

Holy carp. It uploaded! Thought it had failed again. Just a placeholder really.

I converted my 14KB .jpg one to .gif and it actually went up 1KB so the idea that converting it to .gif will reduce file size ain't exactly foolproof..
