How do I resize images for Model Mayhem?
Unfortunately Model Mayhem does not offer any resizing tools., but images uploaded to any account on Model Mayhem must be a specific size to be successfully uploaded.

Minimum Size: Photos must be greater than 200px wide and 300px high and 7kb in file size.

Maximum Size: 4 million total square pixels (e.g., 4000px x 1000px), or 1MB in file size.

The best way to resize photos is with a an image editing software on your computer, such as Paint, GIMP, Photoshop, etc.

If you don't have image editing software on your computer, you can use one of these online utilities. There are more online if you search, but these do give you some options.

We recommend that you resize your photos to be 800 pixels wide or less.

I don't have any issue with being able to resize. I was sharing the Export Preset settings I created to optimally export for uploading to Model Mayhem. Since I was within the Maximum Size limitations, I was surprised that the image was still resized and adjusted when I uploaded it.

I'll keep experimenting to see if any tweaks result in images not getting resized. If 800 x 1200 ends up being the setting that accomplishes that, then that's fine, but it would be nice if that was stated clearly in the Upload Photos instructions.

It's best to size images to 800 pixels wide. Any image wider than that will be resized by the uploader and that's not ideal.

Thank you for the clarity on that and exactly what I was hoping to learn! I'm perfectly fine setting my resolution settings to what is most likely to not have any automatic resizing or compression done to comply with any requirements. Thanks again!

Does the the 800 pix width standard apply to landscape oriented images as well?

Yes, it's due to to the MM page width limit.
