Also @lenspirationlydia, are my photos small enough for this forum? They are much bigger on the longest edge that the recommended pixels, but a lot smaller than the specified MB size
Good question, @laura-aome! There are two reasons for the recommended sizes, and I think understanding those will help with your question!
1. The recommended resolution is 1200px longest edge. This is mainly for your benefit. We’re not asking you to publicly share the high-res versions of your images. No one on the forum needs to access your full size photos. So the resolution recommendation is just that: a recommendation, not a requirement.
2. The specified size of 7 or 8 MB is simply because of the limitations in what our site will allow you to upload. If you had a ginormous photo that was much larger than that, it simply wouldn’t be able to handle it and would let you know 🙂
Does that help clarify things for you?
