Mattaz Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hi i want to put on an avatar but every picture and photo i find is way over 11 KiB. i dont understand how some people get photos as their avatar because they're all too big. How do i get an avatar when all pictures are way too big?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 You have to shrink it down. Pm me a link to the one you want and I'll see if I can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 you need to resize it do you have any graphics type software?, if you do, resize the image size (in pixels) it should make it smaller. or, go hunting in google images (or something similar, kids at school use bing now) for a small image - you can use the bar at the top to filter out the smaller file sizes. hope this helps cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattaz Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 I used adobe fireworks to shrink it down but no matter how small it was, it was still over 11kib! ill try doing it on ms paint. shouldn't be as much kib as on fireworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoid Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 When it says the size is over 10KiB it means the file size, not the dimentions, are too big. To get round this, put the link to you picture into the link to offsite bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my avatar happened out of pure luck. Must have been the right size already. it took me a week just to create one. Doh! i think it's my age.

patsylabrador Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I carefully read everything and hours later, I have a picture. It's my son basejumping - a scary young man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have a picture. It's my son basejumping - a scary young man. OMG I watched my one and only child bungee on holiday in South africa at the tender age of 15. It was awful ................ her whole life flashed in front of me as she was counted down.
