Automatic image resizing active
Posted: 20 Jan 2019 13:24
I have enable the default image uploading tool which will (or should) clamp image sizes automatically to 1600px max.
I have just tried uploading a large 12MB jpeg, and it got resized to about 400KB. So if others can try it out...
I set 1600px as the "displayed" image size on the forum is limited to 800px. So 1600px is of course double, so when a user clicks on the image, it zooms into 1600px size.. I tend to resize my image to 1600px.
800px is probably fine for most things, but I just wanted something in place which should allow a reasonable file size while keeping some extra resolution for more detailed stuff. Images below 500KB are a lot more acceptable than 5-10MB images.
Of course the drawback to this is if anyone posts any motherboard images where I would prefer a large resolution.. but the immediate issue is general uploaded images.
