FiRst, copy and paste the image onto MicRosoft's paint pRogRam. Then highlight it with the dotted Rectangle looking thing at the top left of the toolbaR. Next, go to "Image", then "StRech/Skew", and gRadually go down in the peRcentage size. EveRy time you change it, tRy uploading it to see if it's an appRopRiate size. Simply keep tRying 'til it's acceptable. Hope this helps!! Goodluck to you!!

I'm guessing you use animated GIFs for aim, right?

With a gif, it's more important to use a smaller pallet (number of colors) than to make an uncomplicated picture (unlike a jpg). I have never used animation shop 3, but you should be able to either choose an option like "generate an optimal palette" or specifically select smaller pallets. You may be able to pick and choose what colors you want in the pallet. You definitely don't need anything larger than the "web pallet" (256 colors), and it's probably better if you limit your animated gif to less than 16 colors.

When you're making the icon, chose your pixel size (50 px X 50 px). Create the icon. If your byte size is too large, go back into the Animation Shop and remove some of the frames. This is what causes the byte size to be larger or smaller.

Try going through different formats (I.E: GIF To JPG)
