Forums » General » Images in your recipes

Hi all!

I love pictures of people's homemade goodies, and they're super useful for step-by-step instructions to help people make the goodies. It's very common for people to snap pictures on their (phone) camera and upload as-is, and that's okay!

It is probably good to remember these images tend to be HUGE though, and it can severely impact people's ability to view your thread (think of the drain on limited mobile data or a slow connection). It's not mandatory, but I encourage everyone to try and keep their images no wider or taller than 800 pixels to allow everyone to view your recipes stress free!

"But I don't know how to resize images!"
There are free sites that let you resize images! It's very simple. Just follow the instructions on a site like this:

http://picresize.com/

It tells you approximately how large an image will be when you're done. I try to keep mine around 800 pixels on the largest side, myself. :)

If you can't figure it out and need more help, feel free to respond and I'll be happy to assist!
