Posted July 2, 2024Jul 2 When uploading images, it says the upload limit it 40kb. So if I do, the resolution is low and pixelated. However, when looking at other posts, the images are crisp and high-resolution. How are they managing this?
July 2, 2024Jul 2 Hi @YellowFrog, you are totally right, images should be hosted at e.g. Flickr or some other photo sharing platform (Google?!) as we don't have enough server disk room. Apart from that: welcome to Eurobricks and enjoy.
July 2, 2024Jul 2 I can recommend https://bricksafe.com/ - it is from the creator of rebrickable and offers 10gb free space for lego related pictures for registered users. Also they have a nice function to resize images via link, so by appending a certain string, you may bring the images in to the right allowed max pixel sizes of the EB rules (1024px max!). Just giving an example of how their resizing works: Normal link to the original picture: https://bricksafe.com/files/aFrInaTi0n/temp/Mirror-Render-Stage_16.png Link with a resize applied: https://bricksafe.com/files/aFrInaTi0n/temp/Mirror-Render-Stage_16.png/1024x568.png Edited July 2, 2024Jul 2 by aFrInaTi0n

If anyone else has avatar troubles this site is definitely the way to go.
July 3, 2024Jul 3 Welcome! One thing to mention though for possible future readers:The aspect ratio of the original picture needs to be met for the resize taking place - just going with "/1024x1024.png" will result in a cropping of the original Image from center and no resize. So for having the resize applied, workflow is: Get the original aspect ratio of your picture Get the right value for the vertical fitting value from the right aspect ratio to fit the 1024px limit in horizontal from e.g. the following table from Wikipedia (Linkie) Apply them with /1024x____.png ("____" standing for the value taken from the table) Edited July 3, 2024Jul 3 by aFrInaTi0n

Yes, Bricksafe offers a lot of possibilities and is easy to use. However, having read this, it might be wise to look for alternatives...https://forum.rebrickable.com/t/new-feature-moc-gallery-without-bricksafe/162649/7 (login may be required to read the discussion) Edited July 7, 2024Jul 7 by Sven J
July 7, 2024Jul 7 Nice add, but I guess he just wants to have the clear distinction between both sites. So I think he was not pointing out he will drop the other site, it was just in the discussion of the MOC-Page on RB itself, if I got it right.. "The reasons for this change is to decouple the sites a bit"
