GIF Prep

GIF Prep is a free utility that solves a pervasive, but easily fixed, problem for Macintosh users creating Web graphics.

The problem is the difficulty determining the true size of your GIF (and JPEG) graphics because of the dual nature of the Macintosh file system. GIF Prep is nothing more than a Macintosh resource fork stripping utility, and is included in the archives for most of our Macintosh Web graphics tools.
