Whenever I try to upload a picture say from my phone, it always says it is too big. If I edit it to fit the pixel limit it makes my photos look all squished.


So my question is, how do I get a photo that fits the pixel size and looks normal?

I don't know any image editing apps on mobile platforms, niether know what's your phone OS. Sorry.

I can say that there are image compressors and resizers online. Make sure to keep the aspect ratio. Also, you could use an image editing program like Gimp or Photoshop to resize the image, reduce the palette and/or reduce image quality.

You could PM me and I could fix 'em for you as well :3

I have an iPhone 5C.

How can you tell what the aspect ratio is?

The aspect ratio is the proportion between the width and height of your image. So if you take a picture that's 1024 wide 768 width, it's aspect ration would be 1024/768 = 4/3. So when you re-size that image, to a height of 300, for example, the width would have to be 225 [(300/4)*3] to not look distoreted.

EDIT: Also, don't know anything about iOS, sorry.

Okay, how could I do that?

I might just PM you later for more help. :P

Post them on bayimg or imageshack or zipped in mediafire or something :P

As for how you would resize, there's plenty of site that do that, such as http://www.picresize.com/

Okay awesome, that site works.


I have one more question; how do you post a picture without having to link it?

When I try to do it it just makes a little grey box.
