Here’s how to compress it for upload ## In this article, you'll learn what to do if your images can't be uploaded to the CMS – and how to easily optimize them for web use. ### ❗ Maximum file size allowed The maximum image size allowed for uploads in the Giggle CMS is **6 MB per image**. If your file is larger, you’ll receive an upload error. --- ### 🧩 Common reason: Print files with 300 dpi Many oversized images come from **print projects** and are set to **300 dpi** – which is perfect for print, but **much too large for web usage**. 📌 **Important:** Giggle is a **digital platform**, so images should be optimized for web (e.g. 72 dpi). Large print files with high resolution often exceed the 6 MB limit. #### What can you do? 👉 Ask your photographer for **web-optimized versions** of the images (72 dpi), or use one of the free online tools below to **compress your images** yourself: --- ### 🧰 How to compress your images Compressing reduces your image file size – **without noticeable quality loss**. No software installation required. Use one of these free tools: #### 🔗 Recommended (free & no sign-up needed): - [**iloveimg.com**](https://www.iloveimg.com/resize-image) → Set new image size - e.g. 2000 width (px) - [**tinypng.com**](https://tinypng.com) → compress PNG & JPG - [**compressjpeg.com**](https://compressjpeg.com) → perfect for JPG files 📌 **Tip:** Just drag your image into the tool, let it compress, and download the smaller version. --- ### 🖼️ Ideal image settings for the CMS For best results, we recommend: - **Dimensions:** at least 1800 x 1200 pixels - **File format:** JPG or PNG - **Resolution:** 72 dpi (optimized for web) - **File size:** ideally between **500 KB and 2 MB** --- ### ✅ Summary ✔️ Max. image size: **6 MB** ✔️ Avoid 300 dpi print files – not suitable for web ✔️ Use web versions or compress images with free tools ✔️ Balance file size and image quality for smooth uploads --- 📩 Need help or have questions?
