We recommend uploading photos as large as the Worldisround system will let you. The current upload limit is 3MB per image which should accommodate most images from a 5 megapixel camera. Use the highest resolution and 'fine' or 'superfine' compression when taking pictures with a digital camera and try uploading the photos unmodified to Worldisround. Only downsize photos that Worldisround says are too big.

There is a limit on the total number of personal photos that you can upload, but travel photo uploads are unlimited.

Please note that file size (e.g. 2MB, 300KB) is a totally different creature than the dimensions of an image (e.g. 2000x1312 pixels) and the relationship between the two is very complex. You will have to experiment with different image dimensions to see the effect on file size.

When a large image (anything larger than 600x600 pixels) is uploaded, it is downsized to fit on the photo page. The full-size image is still available in a pop-up window.
