There are three ways to reduce the size of an animated GIF.

Reduce is physical resolution (make it smaller in width and height).

Reduce the number of frames.

Reduce the color depth (make sure you do not dither or use "error diffusion" when you do this).

You can do all this with the animation studio included with Paintshop Pro
