Great question, and one that I get in my email inbox pretty often.
Many websites automatically resize the photos for you without you even knowing it. You may be uploading really larger photos from a phone or digital camera but the result is a much much smaller file for the internet. The internet only needs photos that are about 1000 pixels wide (1920px for true HD). It all happens without the user even knowing it. I'm working on a solution for this site that will automatically resize the photos as they attach to the message so you can load directly from a phone and I hope to get it up and running sometime soon. In a funny irony, I actually allow much much bigger files than most websites. Most sites resize the photos down to around 60kb (or either 800px or 640px wide). I actually allow people to upload a 600kb photo which is huge by internet standards (it can be any width as long as file size is 600kb or less)... So you can actually load a huge (by internet standards) photo on a for sale ad. I've attached an example at twice HD size (you will need to zoom in to see it's actual size... it's BIG). Any registered user on this page can attach photos that same size if they know how to resize and compress the photo. You can still upload pics from any phone or camera to the For Sale page, just download an app to resize the photos (1000px wide is what I use in the Photo Gallery on this site and it works great for the internet, but you can obviously go bigger based on my attached example). There are thousands of free apps for both Iphones and Android phones that can resize a photo with just a few clicks. Just type “photo resizer” in the Play Store or App Store and have a go at it. I managed to master one of the programs in just a few minutes and I'm terrible on a smart phone. Jake Morgan Owner, PULLOFF.COM Independent Pulling News This page is a free service. The cost is covered out of my pocket. It takes a great deal of time and a fair amount of money to keep this website going. Donations for: photos, classified ads, forum discussion, etc... are appreciated. Side Note: We are no longer accepting PayPal donations. They have changed their terms of service and stated they would fine PayPal users for spreading "misinformation" and "hate, violence, racial or other forms of intolerance that is discriminatory". PayPal did not provide definitions for some of these vague terms. Woke corporate policies regarding "misinformation" could result in an automatic fine of $2,500 which would have been removed directly from the customer’s PayPal account. PayPal did backdown from some of their policies but quietly implemented portions of them in later terms of service. A financial institute has no right to monitor social media accounts or speech. This is unacceptable and I'll no longer do business with PayPal. |
