Model Railway Forum

trying to reduce the size of my avatar to fit within the site requirements but currently struggling to get the small size needed, any help please would be gratefully received.

I use Windows Paint and it works fine for me. Happy to help !

I am using paint but can only get the file to 22kb, anything down to 6kb you can't see it!

must be doing something wrong here

Resolved, saved as a GIF file

Good news.

I have tried to reduce it as a gif but it still won't work for me, it pixilates beyond recognition.

It took me yonks to work out how to produce one last time. Anyone have a quick way.

If it is a photo, then .JPG will normally be the best choice but for drawings then .PNG or .GIF should be best.

Any chance of increasing the avatar size? 90 x 90 pixels is pretty restrictive.

To reduce an image I used http://resizeimage.net/

For the avatar where the size is small I set the size to 90px width, found the height was too high so changed the height to 90px keeping the aspect ratio. This worked and gave me one I wanted.

I'll up it to 150 x 150 and see what happens, if that's too big then it will have to come down.

Edit now set at 150 x 150
