I know HubPages likes at least a 700 pixel count on photo width, but prefers 1,400. I was wondering if even a larger size is preferred and what is the maximum size desired?
I've used larger dimensioned images and there hasn't been a problem. They just get downscaled. It's easy to convert images to a smaller pixel dimension size in most basic image editing applications. What's more important though is that you compress your images before uploading. This ensures that the download time is reduced for readers and images are displayed quicker. Compressing an image retains its size in pixels, but reduces the amount and sharpness of detail. However this can often be imperceptible, and image size can typically be reduced by 80% or more.
Thank you Eugene. This is good to know. I've been concerned about using too large of a pixel image.

On this article, I uploaded an image of a table at over 1200 pixels wide. The site then seems to limit the width to 1200 pixels wide. In edit mode if I right click on the image and open it in a new tab, it's 1200 pixels wide. If I view the article on Owlcation and do the same thing, it's only 700...

I have a number of photos to include in my article on traveling to Northern Thailand. When I upload them, they are too big. I resized them and uploaded them again, but they continue to be the original size. Can I not change the size? Am I doing something wrong? Please...

Who votes for a larger profile picture on our hubs?The minimum avatar size I would be happy with is only 100px. That is twice the size of our current minuscule 50 px avatars. Because many of my Hub Titles occupy 2 lines, the lay-out would look better too.What do you think?
