Keeping profile images under 15k limit
< on 3/30/2011 2:20 PM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
Whenever I try and upload a new profile picture, the uploader tells me that that the file size must be under 15k. I can't squeeze any half-decent picture into 15k, and was wondering how everyone here does it?

The Viaduct runs through the Callowhill Loft District, which is overrun with hipsters. This is just another one of those things a hipster would probably do.

my wife figured out that if she saved hers as a gif that made it smaller. you lose some of the quality, but it cuts the size almost in half.

In Photoshop make sure your file is 8 bits/channel, 72 dpi and use File > Save for Web & Devices. When you move the 'quality' slider look at the bottom left corner and you will see what the saved file size will be - adjust accordingly.

Hope that helps.

Use Photobucket. Just hit re-size. You can shrink any image down as small as you can see it,and every where in between. Easy to use and free storage.

From a post pinned in this forum:

3) My images are too large, how can I resize them?

shrinkpictures.com
picresize.com
resize2mail.com
resizr.com
resize.it
webresizer.com
Phot oshop
Click on Image -> Imagesize -> Enter in width and height

Paint Shop Pro
Click on Image -> Resize -> Enter in width and height

Paint
Click on Image -> Attributes -> Enter in width and height (does not resize image, only window)


Also, what everyone else said.

Get down, girl, go 'head, get down.
