Shrinking pictures
Requirements for pictures and photo's
Most modern camera's make pictures of 10mb or more: on the web this is of no use. Pictures of 500kb (or less!) will do just fine for usage in your Team File or on social media. Bringing back any pictures of photos to a lower format (less MB's) is called shrinking. To keep the platform quick you obey a few rules:
- Do not use pictures of more than 500kb, it might slow down your Team File page!
- Reducing the size of a picture by dragging the corners to a smaller picture is NOT reducing its size in mb's! This is just visual. The picture will still be 2 mb or what it was.
On this platform we also have a page on how to get Free images and (free) Logo services
Software
A handy program to do so is ShrinkPic. After choosing high compression this software will reduce the (jpg.) pictures in the background on uploading them. This free software can be downloaded from this link and a lot of other sites.
There are very many other programs (Paint, Corel Draw, Irfanview) which can do the same. Please shrink before you upload!
Using Shrinkpic?
Pay attention! As this software is automatically active on using the pc it brings back all pictures you send etc. to less than 100kb. If you do not want this, you have to deactivate (right-hand corner, below) the software at these moments. Or remove it after the Game.
Camera setting
You can also change the camera setting for just the pictures you want to use for the platform, that is also an option.
