Image Size

[Guest Minitrav]

Can anyone tell me what the ideal size is for images prior to uploading onto my Cubecart website?

Thanks.

Depends on the skin you are using really, if your images on the product main page are 400 x 300, then its best to make the images in that size rather than let the software resize it. I make my product images that size and for extra images that display in the lightbox they are bigger for more detail, 640 x 480, sometimes 800 x 600.

Thanks Ausy for your reply, it is really helpful. I am using Kita Blue skin, will the sizes above still apply?

Hello,

If you upload images via the built in upload manager, product images will be resized according to the Max Image Size in the GD settings under Store Config. The default value is 390px and will adjust the image width or height until the larger of the two values is under 390. You can change this value to whatever floats your boat and looks good in your store.
