Hi everybody,
I have gif files of size 4800 x 3600 pixels. I want to put them in a document where they are 16cm wide and the document is to be printed on a printer with 300 dpi resolution. My question is to which size (in pixels) should I reduce this file in order to reduce its size as much as possible while keeping the necessary resolution??
Regards

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Re: Reducing Size of GIF files for putting in LATEX document.
Ok, I figured out myself.
Original size: 4800 x 3600 pixcels
Target size: 16cm x 12cm for printing on 300dpi.
Target size in inches: 6.3'' x 4.7''
Reduced file size without losing quality should be: (6.3 x 300) x (4.7 x 300) pixels = 1890 x 1410 pixels
So it reduces size by factor of about 6.5
