Picture size ?

[bentstick54]

Has the picture size requirements changed. I’m trying to post a new bow the same way I always have and can’t get it posted. Pictures are sized at 640x480, or 480x640.

Technology seems to have increased the quality and size of a photo within that size. So I found a photosizer thats super easy to use, even easier than the old way. https://www.simpleimageresizer.com/resize-image-to-250-kb

That should do what you need. Images need to be 250kb or less.

Thanks. I’m heading to bed, so I’ll play with that tomorrow.

I downloaded a free software called XnConvert. It lets you load a whole folder. There are lots of variables you can tinker with and I have not figured them out. My pictures I've uploaded so far look pretty bad but I think it's because of my settings needing some tweaking.

Thanks Sleek - I ran into the same issue, I was making sure my photos weren't over 480 x 640 but they were still getting rejected - this should help.

480x640 .jpg file at 75 - 85 quality setting should definetely produce acceptable images

I use Imgur, a photo storage site. It's free and it gives you options for sizing photos for different applications. I've used it for quite a few years now and have never had a problem with it.
 Before Imgur I used Photobucket which also claimed to be a free photo hosting sight. After a few years they decided to charge without letting me remove my photos. I lost over 100 pages of photos to Photobucket, many of which were bow building related pics, some were build alongs.
