Animations different size..

Hello I got this great animation but every frame is a different size.. & I want the animation to look as great as possible.. So how would I go about this? Do I just put the animation & hope for the best lol...

Yep, all development is just a shot in the dark.

Maybe this will shed some light.

If you have animation frames of different sizes ...

put them all into one image as different layers (Photoshop/GIMP/Illustrator/your choice),
centering the individual frames around some logical anchor point, usually the most stationary part of the animation.

Next you crop the transparent parts,

and then export the individual layers (by hiding and unhiding as needed) as your animation frames.

Nice example @hopsandscotch

Also, if collisions are important, then you would probably have to use a separate hitbox. Or make rules for image, width, height, position offset for every single frame, but that is not fun... Trust me
