Are there ways to control the size of the pictures? Sometimes, I'd like to have them smaller or larger or more square instead of a rectangle. Is there something we can do before uploading?.
Hi Catherine. Are you asking about using photos from somewhere on the web, or your own photos?
I have several different sizes of photos that are my own, that I edit to the sizes that I want to use.
I think that if you go into Photoshop or Paint and create a square, say, 3000 x 3000 pixels...and then reduced your original image by as much as you want...and place it in the blank square you've created, that would essentially give you a smaller image framed in white. There may be easier or better ways, but I think that would work. I've considered it myself.
Hi #CatherineGiordano. I used to ensure the pics I intend to use are resized to an approximate size I want, but found that this does not work on hubpages.
When I had small pics it expanded them [I used the right aligned half pic space] and thus they became pixilated.
It seems to me that the sizes are pre-determined.
Use Pixlr Express (type in Google should send you the result). Really simple to use.
Thank you. I will try that with my next photo.
I hadn't heard of "Pixlr Express" before. Looks like fun to use. Thanks.
The guide to photos in the Learning Center covers everything about pictures on the site, not just taking pictures.

Or would we be exactly the same as we are now. For example: how high we can jump, how much we can lift in relation to our body weight, how far we can fall without getting hurt?

Recently hubpages evidently changed how to size pics in articles. Just when I thought I had it working they changed. Now I can't seem to size the pics right to fit the article spacing.Yesterday I tried to change a pic in my highest rated hub and ended up this morning with it plummeting to my second...

I got contacted by the editors, and they want to "promote" one of my articles up to one of the niche sites. Yeah! Sounds great! However, they want me to fix the size of the photos. They say the photos are "half-size" and they need to be "full-size". I don't know what...

Can anyone advise on the best size of image to use on HubPages? I know there's a maximum size which I think is about 5 Mb. But what is the best size? Too small and the image is poor. Too large and maybe with some connections the images take too long to load? With broadband I don't think it's too...

I looked around and didn't see this question anywhere- apologies if it's already been answered.I'm pretty new here, and just jumped into the water and started splashing around. I use a lot of my own photos in the Hubs, and the situation is starting to get very messy. Finding out that they can be...
