Forums » Help » Questions about uploading pictures

A couple questions.
#1: My character icons are all really pixelated and hard to make out details. I have no idea how to fix that. Please advise?
#2: I know that people in the UK can't see pictures hosted on IMGur. I'm just wondering what a good alternative is?

The pictures I upload directly onto this site are always really blurry when I expand them.

The pictures I see in one of your character profiles look plenty clear to me, so I'm going to guess it's mostly a pfp/icon issue you're having?

The site's image resizer isn't very good with how it does compression, so does tend to make icons run through it look noticeably worse. For a clearer image, it's best if you use an external, dedicated image program to resize the images you want to use as icons to 95x95 px so that they don't need to be resized.

You can also skip the resizer completely by choosing "use the legacy uploaded" when looking at the pfp page! Then if your image is 95 x 95 or smaller it will be uploaded as-is exactly.

I've been using https://postimages.org/ as an imgur replacement.

I'll have to check that one out. I had given up Imgur a while ago and started using IMGBB, but their service can be glitchy.
I also use FileGarden, but you have to set up your folder security.
