Picture size ?
« on: November 17, 2025, 01:15:30 am »
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.

You don't have to resize pictures when you link to them on Imgur, the forum software automatically resizes the image to fit the forum layout. As a bonus, you can click on the resized picture to see it full size. The tiny pictures the forum allows for upload really are archaic at this point and pretty useless for seeing details of the bow in. Technology has moved very far along from a 640x480 image being considered 'large'. It is basically just a large thumbnail in today's world.
