The forum is optimized for images 690 (horizontal) x 500 (vertical). If you upload a larger image (in #pixels), it may show only a partial image, or a reduced size – in which case a reader can click on the image to show it full size. In terms of memory size, any image over 1 Meg will be shrinked to 1 Meg, but the pixel count will not go down. ---

Awesome! There are other sites like it, but I tend to use [PicResize.com](http://picresize.com/). You can enter the exact horizontal/verical pixels. Save it in any format you want, then boom, you’re done. ---
