Compression of an image to reduce file size (in Kb) is usually "lossy" and is not advised for featured pictures. Image compression will reduce download times and save disk space, but it does so at the expense of fine detail and overall image quality. If in doubt, when saving JPEG files, always select the "maximum" quality setting.

Preserve the original image size, and put a box around the image. Show any caption below the image. Float the image on the right unless overridden with the location attribute. Note: Any size options specified will be ignored and flagged as a 'bogus file option' by the Linter. frameless Automatically scale the image up or down.
Since the proportions of File:Flag of Scotland.svg are 5×3, specifying a width of 120px generates a 120×72px image, and specifying a height of 60px generates a 100×60px image, so a size field of 120x60px generates the smaller of the two, namely, the 100×60px image:
Original file (SVG file, nominally 1 × 1 pixels, file size: 2 KB) This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons . Information from its description page there is shown below.
Graphics programs also allow you to reduce the image to a particular size before saving. If images are for use in infoboxes only, and are being used under fair use rules, they should not be any larger than the size displayed, e.g. 220–300 pixels wide.
In the examples above, the size of the image is scaled based on each user's default image size, which can be changed at Special:Preferences. Setting image size in pixels, such as "250px", would override the user's preference and display the image as 250px wide for all users who view that image on that page.
An example of a 1x1 image. 1:1 pixel mapping is a video display technique applicable to devices with native fixed pixels , such as LCD monitors and plasma displays . A monitor that has been set to 1:1 pixel mapping will display an input source without scaling it, such that each pixel received is mapped to a single native pixel on the monitor.
