Hi,
Not really new to the site per se but figured this is a newbie type question. May be dumb, but does anyone have any tips on resizing photos for the website? I frequently run into problems with size limit. How do you resize but maintain image quality? Thanks!

You can use a tool called Irfanview to decrease size easily. The tool should be free.

If for whatever reason you would like to increase the size and retain image quality, I use
Upscale AI services like:

https://www.pixelcut.ai/image-upscaler

You should be able to double the size for free (possibly quadruple etc etc by uploading the initial doubled image and submitting it).
In general there are a lot of similar services.

Some members advise resizing to 1000 pixels in width. Note that there are no images on MM wider than 800 pixels.

An image 1000 pixels in width will be resized by MM.

Sure about that?
I upload all my landscape images at 900px wide, older ones used to be uploaded at 1000px. I just checked and they are still original size.

Yup

I'm not sure what you are demonstrating here:

from the Exif Data:
FlashPix Version {0xA000} = 0100
Colour Space {0xA001} = sRGB (1)
Image Width {0xA002} = 800 pixels
Image Height {0xA003} = 600 pixels
Image Source {0xA300} = 0x03,0x00,0x00,0x00

Edit: I guess that you are measuring the physical size of a screen shot which will vary from monitor to monitor of course.

For a while the width limit on MM was 1,000 pixels. That was later changed back to 800. I don't know why or if it was even intentional.

Were the 1000 pixel images breaking the formatting in forum threads?

Guess its been a while since I uploaded new photos.
