This Page is Under Construction

BakaBT only allows images for descriptions that are <150kb in size. If your image is over the limit, you'll have to compress it to a file size that's acceptable.

Image Compression

JPEG Compression

JPEG is a format for lossy compression of images. This is the simplest and most wide-ranged used image format for compression.

Compression in GIMP

  1. In GIMP, choose to save as a JPEG. You should see this dialog box: http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e218/kureshii/box%20images/faq/adv_desc/jpegwindow.png
  2. Adjust the quality as high as possible until it's just under <150kb.
