Ok, I'm not sure if this is possible, but I'm a total rookie with it comes to this stuff...

I have a GIF file that I made in MSPaint (I know, probalby a bad move, but I did..) It's a black grid map on a white background. Basically a bunch of straight and curved black lines.

I would like to increase the size from 900px to 1200px, without intruducing any shading of the lines. Is there a way to do this? Everything I have tried still gives me grey outlines next to my black lines. I need to have all the lines black... Possible?

Thanks.

No, because GIF is a raster format. And all raster formats are subject to pixelation when resized.

But with Inkscape, you could import the GIF (File menu > Import). Then you could use Path menu > Trace Bitmap, and convert it to a vector image (SVG format). And once it's converted to vector, you can indeed resize it without any problems. Please see Help menu > Inkscape manual to find instructions.
