How to "GIF to thumbnail"?
How do you resize a GIF since that format isn't supported by GD anymore?

If you can. You are encouraged to try the PNG format http://www.libpng.org/.
PNG supports 24-bit bitmaps as well as 8-bit indexed bitmaps.
PNG has an alpha channel (allowing partly or complete transparency) that is REALLY nice when correctly displayed. Most browsers support PNG nowadays, but IE has some bugs related to the alpha channel though.
Aswell, the PNG format compresses VERY well.
This post is definetily not the solution to your specific problem, but I recommend you to play with PNG.
