What size should my pictures be when I upload them? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Do I need to resize my images before uploading them?No, not unless they're above 5mb each. Image dimensions (eg in pixels)Our web sites resize pictures for you automatically so if you`re unable to resize them before uploading them, don`t worry about it. However, as a guide:- Minimum: At least 2,000 pixels in width or height. Images smaller than this may appear blurry on high resolution displays such as Apple retina displays. Recommended: 6,000 pixels in width or height so that your images will look crisp when zoomed in from retina displays. Maximum: There isn't a maximum, but you're unlikely to see any benefit of images larger than 6,000 pixels in width or height. Image size (eg in megabytes)We recommend uploading images no larger than 5mb. Realistically 2mb is usually more than enough however we recommend using the size in pixels (above) as your primary measure as the size in kilobytes / megabytes can be misleading. However, it is worth noting that:-
What format should images be in?You can upload images in JPEG, JPG, PNG or GIF format. (note older websites created before 2015 may only support JPG/JPEG) DPI / PPIHow many megapixels do I need?Most cameras quote the quality in "megapixels". Please find below a handy chart which explains the resolution (width x height) versus megapixels so you can see what megapixel camera you need (or what setting to set your camera on).
