center – shifts the image to center between left/right margins; Each of the above sizing options can be used in any image link coded into a Wikipedia page, in the form [[File:Example.jpg|thumb|upright|left|Description]]. When a user views the page, the image will be resized based on the user's default image size setting.
Since the MediaWiki software dynamically scales inline images, there is no technical reason to reduce file size via scaling or quality reduction when uploading images, although non-free images may require scaling due to copyright concerns (see the non-free image resolution guidelines for further information). Also, compressing PNGs may be ...
One of the simpler ways of increasing the size, replacing every pixel with a number of pixels of the same color. The resulting image is larger than the original, and preserves all the original detail, but has (possibly undesirable) jaggedness. The diagonal lines of the "W", for example, now show the "stairway" shape characteristic of nearest ...
When scaling a vector graphic image, the graphic primitives that make up the image can be scaled using geometric transformations with no loss of image quality. When scaling a raster graphics image, a new image with a higher or lower number of pixels must be generated. In the case of decreasing the pixel number (scaling down), this usually ...
Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you specify the size in conjunction with "thumb". This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user.
If the size of the text on your screen is too hard to read comfortably, you can easily change it. Learn how to make the font bigger or smaller on your web browser.
If the new version is too sharp, you can utilize the blur filter or tool to fix this, or use Colors > Levels to mess with the Alpha channel. Once it looks correct, save the image as a PNG. Then, to reduce file size, run it through a program like ImageMagick that supports 8-bit PNGs with alpha transparency, in order to remove any unnecessary ...
