 | Bamboo Member since Apr 2019 372 Points | Hi there, I have been up-loading 78 record label photo's at a pixel count of 500 x 500. It seems that they should be larger for this site and if so what is the standard pixal image size requirement please ? Thanks for helping. Edited by moderator on 25th Jul 2019, 8:36 AM |

| scrough ● No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3428 Points Moderator | We usually say 800x800 pixels is optimum, and that used to be the limit. But I've noticed that many I've edited recently are larger, so the database seems to be accepting and storing larger images now. |

| Bamboo Member since Apr 2019 372 Points | Very good. I will upload at 800 in future. Thank you very much. |

 | Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25322 Points Moderator | There is no need to resize images as the site automatically resizes them if they are too big. |

 | getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 877 Points Moderator | 800 should be fine or larger if you want. |

 | Fokeman I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5096 Points Moderator | In terms of picture quality you can go higher. No need to go massive but a jpeg at 1mb is bigger than 800 x 800 and as has already been mentioned, the website can deal with high quality images as it simply reduces the size to accommodate the requirements of the site. In my opinion, within reason, it's best to set out to get the best quality image possible. |

| Bamboo Member since Apr 2019 372 Points | Thank you. So a photo which is 1 mb in size seems the way to go. I am no expert but this seems to be just over 1,000 pixels. Thank you again. |

 | whitewhale1965 ● Let's make it Better! Member since Jun 2012 12250 Points | I keep all my images at 2000 or less. Most labels I add are 1500 which makes my computer files look nice. The one time I forgot to edit an image over 4000 pixels the site wouldn't upload. |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | I originally uploaded 700x700 pixel images which I had seen recommended somewhere, but when it became clear that the site could handle larger images, I increased the size to 1200x1200 pixels at 400 ppi resolution. You could go higher but I am also keeping copies on my computer, and this reduces my need for storage capacity, and at 1200x1200, you can see every detail on the label.

I still do. That was the recommended size on the 45worlds image guide page when I joined in 2014 (45cat had 800x800). |

To improve the quality and avoid any delays with the size being a few bytes too big, the site now allows almost any size and converts the size to maximum size available. No need to limit yourself to 700x700 or 800x800 because the magical site tool resizes it for you... |

 | leonard BLANK Member since Jun 2011 45547 Points Moderator | The site handles images up to 4000 x 4000. My scans I make nowadays are with a resolution of 600 dpi (for booklets, cd's and record labels) or 300 dpi for album covers. I don't have to resize. Never have a problem uploading. Quality matters!

Since we're referring to digital media, the dpi is not relevant. It refers to a print resolution. Pixel size can be much bigger than the sizes you mention. Scan large and let the site reduce - this will provide the most useful, clear images for the website. |

 | annaloog ● Member since Sep 2012 6602 Points Moderator | Resolution (dpi) does matter when scanning ... while a low-res 72 dpi scan might produce a recognizable image, a 300 dpi scan will capture detail that the lower resolution will miss. 600 dpi is, perhaps, overkill, and on my cheapo HP scanner produces scan that look worse than the 300 dpi scans. |

As stated above, you cannot SCAN at dpi, you can only PRINT at dpi. It refers to dots per inch, that is to say the number of dots of ink available to you per inch of paper. It is a printing term, not a digital term and as such has no relevance to scanning or digital information. If you have a scanner that is using dpi, it may well be that it is also a photocopier which scans and then prints - so it refers to print quality not scan quality. |

| ppint. Member since Aug 2012 6397 Points | but n.b. no pixels should be larger than one imperial mile up, down nor across; nor should any slugs be introduced. |

If you have a scanner that is using dpi, it may well be that it is also a photocopier which scans and then prints - so it refers to print quality not scan quality. DPI stands for Dots Per Inch which technically means printer dots per inch. Today it is a term often misused, usually to mean PPI, which stands for Pixels Per Inch. So when someone says they want a photo that is 300 dpi they really mean that they want 300 ppi. (thank you google) For the record I scan at 300ppi which is ample for this site. |

True enough, I used a loose interpretation of 'dots', referring to screen/scanner dots (i.e., pixels) ... somewhat similar to the way some collectors use 'bootleg' to refer to a counterfeit. (Mea culpa, and I'll probably do it again.) FWIW, my scanner reports 300 ppi as 299.99 ppi, and while this is precise enough (how do you get a fraction of a pixel?), I change this to 300 when I rescale the image for processing ... it just looks better. |
