From Support Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

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.
