Avatar max size?
« on: January 06, 2025, 03:56:39 PM »
Not sure where to post this?

What is the max Avatar size?
Dimensions?
File size?
Search the site...nothing.

Thanks

I don't know what the maximum limits are, but mine is 96 pixels x 96 pixels, and 3.7kB. Its my understanding that is a pretty common size and should work for you here, and likely elsewhere too.

Thank you for your reply,

Usually forums set a standard for this, but could not find that info.
Server space, bandwidth, but I did not want to over do it. :grin:

New here....Thanks again R.Sidetrack

I did find a related thread: https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=10986.0

... see post #3 where he says 200x200 pixels but its not clear whether  he speaks with the voice of authority. :)

I see his current avatar is 118pixels x 120 pixels and 5.1kB.

Did a search, mostly php related.
This link seems reasonable for this (did not want to assume!), been a member with many forums over the years.
Try to be respectful of the rules.

Was not sure about the aspect 1:1,(others sightly higher), have some images in mind to use, a bit wider.

Thanks again sir for your help [tup]

The file size doesn't matter, only the 120px wide by 120px height matters.  You can always use free software like Paint.NET to crop/resize to 120x120px for an uploaded avatar.

I'm resizing a UHD image, wanted to make sure about the file size.
I use Affinity Photo.

Thanks again for the help. [tup]
