'You can upload a maximum of 2.1 MB at once'?

I have no idea how to check or how to do that, but I'll try googling it. Having to use Imgur for now. Thanks.

It depends on the software you're using. Photoshop is straightforward, "File > Save As..." should let you set quality after choosing a folder and name:


Using "File > Export > Export As..." will let you set it in the preview screen.

Can you do that by reducing the canvas? I've seen larger images posted, so I'm not sure why it's flagged it.

When simpler, larger images may not be that heavier. The amount of colors and information has a big impact on file size.

I have Clip, but will keep this in mind for PS. Thanks.

To complement Knight's Photoshop screenshots, here is a Clip Studio screenshot of the jpg export options, jpeg compression quality (use around 85%) and image dimensions:



And the file size can be displayed in the file explorer of whatever operating system you are on:

Is this available in the File>Export>Export as, like in PS?

Another addition, just to clarify how the forum works: It seems you can't bulk upload files with a combined size of over 2.1 MB.

Eg: You want to upload 3 images. Grouped, they're over the limit. If you try to upload all at once by shift+selecting it'll fail. If you upload them one by one their sizes will be considered individually and it'll work as intended.

This happens when clicking on the upload box and selecting the files from the "Open" window. I can't test if it also happens when dragging and dropping multiple files into the box at the moment because my drag-and-drop went kaput and I can't restart right now.

Yeah, I tried splitting them and uploading one by one, but I still had that same issue.

One last bit.

The first file on the screenshot below is your latest "lady in the water" image that you had to post on imgur.
The second one is the same image but with 85% jpg quality, the file size got slightly reduced.
The third one is scaled down to 800 pixels in width, the file size is almost divided by ten.

Thanks for this, does the last still hold the same viewing quality?

Guys I'm having another issue now. I'm trying to upload separately, but it won't unload and keeps on saying: Authorization code mismatch. Are you accessing this function correctly? ease go back and try again.
I tried scanning the image again, but still the same result. I even tried posting old images I previously uploaded, but no dice. I may have to use Imgur again, untill the issue is resolved.
