dadamssg Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 well i have "unlimited storage" according to my hosting service, they're images attached to events that get posted(much like profile pictures....except for events), haven't launched my site yet, so i have no idea about # of users, i'm going to resize them to be 200px wide and then their proportianate height. But they will be linked to the full size versions.

Philip Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 If you have an "unlimited" plan, chances are they are going to have something in their ToS against a "hosting" service. But I'd say max size would be anywhere from 1.5-2MB. That's reasonable.

But I'd say max size would be anywhere from 1.5-2MB. That's reasonable. Even less. I have looked some images size. 2 Megapixel image medium quality(JPG), not very complex 100-150 KB. I think this quality is more than enough for web, so 500 KB should be enough.

Yes - but the numbers I pulled are from what would be considered competition for another photo host (e.g. photobucket, imageshack) Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/167056-solved-good-image-size-limit-to-upload/#findComment-880884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynew Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 If they're too big, just resize them on the fly and maybe even tweak with the quality of the copy a bit.
