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 ...
Framing an Image will automatically set the Image to the right side of the screen and frame it. (Like a picture frame) To frame an Image type in: [[File:Cscr-featured.svg|frame]] Which will appear like this: NOTE: This will force the image to be in its original size (to change the size use thumbnails or do not use the frame).
With an operand, e.g. thumb=Example.png, the operand names an image that is used as the thumbnail, ignoring any size specification. frame 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.
Under the image there should be a set of numbers in the form "NNNNxMMMM." This is the size of the image in pixels. If these numbers do not appear, then the image is smaller than the limit you specified for display in the "Files" pane in your preferences. If you did not adjust that limit, the default size is 800x600 pixels.
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.
See the 2003 version of Floppy disk for an example. Markup for images is quite complicated. This may be improved in the future: see meta:image pages. Here are some examples of typical markup ("image" for an image in the page, "media" for just a link):

(Most references to an image's "size" really mean its width.) Except with very good reason, a fixed width in pixels (e.g. 17px) should not be specified, because it ignores the user's base width setting. Thus upright=scaling factor is preferred when it is desired to present an image at other than the default width.
