Maximum Photo Size

Question

Hi there,

I've been trying to upload a photo for the past hour and it is not working. I've looked at past questions and have found that my photo is likely too big. My question is what are the maximum size limits? Also, is it possible to get the proper sizing typed out near the "Upload Photo" button if any of the mods run the programming for this site.

Thanks in advance

I think it's something wrong today, I can't upload photos either. Maybe it's photobox? - annierats, Sep 18, 2012

I'm not sure...I moved your question to Website questions and Feedback. - rac1, Sep 18, 2012

Thanks for moving it. I'll be sure to put it in the correct spot next time. - andrewandrew599, Sep 18, 2012

Answer 1

I don't know about the dimension limit but the size limit on SpanishDict is 1 MB (1024 KB) per avatar image.

The largest avatar that SpanishDict can display is 160x160 which is on your profile page. So it would better if you reduce or crop your image to this size before uploading it on your 'Edit my Profile' page.

You can use the following free online services for cropping or reducing your image if you like:

Note to Webmasters:

It would be more convenient for users if you display the avatar restrictions next to "Upload new image:" on the 'Edit My Profile' page.

Answer 2

I think the only way to alter the size is to do it before putting it ino phot-bucket. Once it's into the programme I don't think one can affect the sizing anymore, it's automatic.

Bear in mind, I'm hopeless with computers. - annierats, Sep 18, 2012

You are a computer whizz Annie and correct :) - ian-hill, Sep 18, 2012
