Support wiki
This is the wiki.gg support wiki! It's a different site from your content wiki!
Maximum file size
Files uploaded on wiki.gg have a maximum file size of 10 MB.
Additionally, images uploaded to wiki.gg will only display thumbnails if they meet one of the following requirements:
- 64 megapixels or lower (calculated as width × height)
- JPEG format, which has more efficient thumbnailing
Compressing an image
To reduce an image's file size without changing its dimensions, some form of compression is required.
Lossless
Lossless compression changes the file size of an image without losing any of its quality.
If the image was saved as a PNG, it may have been saved using the "Large file size / Fastest saving" option in a program such as Photoshop. Saving the image as "Smallest file size / Slowest saving" takes more computer resources but will result in a smaller file without any quality loss.
Lossy
Lossy compression reduces the quality of the image to lower its file size.
The most common method of lossy compression, especially for PNG images, is by re-saving them as JPEG images.
Various tools are available to help compress large images, including online sites such as TinyPNG and Squoosh or downloadable tools such as FileOptimizer.
