  • Image size question

    The upload guidelines give a nice table for acceptable image sizes to upload to the site. My question is, are those exact sizes the only allowed ones? For example, can I upload a 16:9 format image where the width falls between 1067 and 1200?

    I'm trying to upload an image that's 1188 wide (yes I know, but I applied a minor rotation after finishing the image and recropped it!) and 669 high. When I try to upload it, I get an "image validation failed" message saying the image is less than the minimum height of 675.

    Hi!

    The sizes in the table are just guidelines and you can upload images at different sizes as long as they fall within the required aspect ratio and minimum/maximum pixel dimensions. The image you're trying to upload should fit perfectly fine within the requirements and I'm not quite sure why it isn't at the moment, we're looking into it though and will get back to you with an update once we figure out what's happening.

    Cheers

      Hi,

      We will look into it as it does appear to be a bug.

      Thanks,

        I expected that to be the case and I think I'd uploaded 'odd' sizes before without issue. The new, smarter upload page might be a little too smart?

            We just updated the upload form - 576px is now the minimum height for 16:9 photos.

              I just tried with my slightly 'odd' sized image and I get the same error. The image is 1188 x 669 which is exactly 16:9 and within the size limits.
