24 February: Just as a heads up, we've updated our uploading guidelines to include a new entry. This was added to address a string of bad faith content that was exploiting our very permissive content standards.
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

PrivilegedCertainly one of those cases where a low compression JPEG could have been better, would be 10 MB, instead of 50!
Though I won't complain too much, could be a lot worse :)

MemberHey everyone this is a rather important announcement relating to this art. Obviously these images need to be big to fit on a pillow but even when shrunk down to fit the standards this site can't seem to handle it. I saved every full size image in this artists dakimakura collection, and would be fully willing to upload it. But I need some help with figuring out how to shrink the pictures down to an acceptable size and properly uploading them to e621, any advice helps, thank you.

PrivilegedWhat are acceptable dimensions or not depends on whom you ask. E.g. some would want the original size, some just want it not to be a thumbnail. Generally bigger is better. Although anyone wanting the raw files can get them on a new post over at 0r0's Tumblr or FA (original source link is dead)
If you need to resize them or convert to JPEG. There are plenty of free image editing software out there that should do the trick (GIMP, Paint Tool SAI, etc.). Just remember to keep the quality settings fairly high if saving as JPEG, no-one likes JPEG artifacts. I.e. it is often better to downsample an image and save at a higher quality setting than just to lower the quality. How to do the actual downsampling is often very simple but of course depends on what program you use.
I did a quick conversion using ImageMagick to JPEG at quality 92 with no chroma subsampling and kept the dimensions and it reduced the file size by 85% with acceptable artifacting. Just for fun I also tried using lossy PNG-preprocessing using another tool and was able to reduce the PNG size by ~72% with comparable loss of quality (took ages with these huge files).
Otherwise you could try uploading the raw files instead if you haven't tried, despite the fact they're actually humongous in this case... But I dunno.
