Thread: Editing Classified Ad - Adding Pics

I'm not sure what the max file size is, but my images are typically around 350kb. Hope that helps...

I think 1024x760 in jpg format usually works for me.

Mine are much larger; 2708 x 1800. That is why I'm pretty sure it is the file size, not the image size, that matters.

It is definately the image size. It is just that once i resize an image from 3648 x 2736 to 1024x768, it is usually quite a bit smaller.

Ben, when you resize, are you also changing the file size? I would assume the file size too, shrinks. I guess someone would have to play around or ask a Dev what the actual limits are.

I actually saw the number once on file size limit but can't remember for the life of me where??? Sorry, I will keep trying to remember. Good luck.

All I can tell you is that the image size, not the file size, is what stops me from uploading pics to the host here. I thought that I had a corrupt profile or something like that, so I reduced the image quality of a pic till it was 17kb, and it still wouldn't take it b/c of the size of the image. I figured out later what the problem was.

As far as adding pics I just upload them to image shack and let them resize them, and post hotlinked thumbnails here. I usually d/l one of the pics from imageshack, then upload it to the ad so there is an pic in the ad thumbnail. If you decide to do this, dont be afraid of the software imageshack wants to put on your comp, its actually really good and ad free.

Two things effect the file size: (1) image size - how large it appears on screen. and (compression rate) - amount of pixels used to portray the image. The most important of these is compression rate. Be sure when you save file that you lower the compression rate as well as the image size.
