Avatar on my profile?

I'll fire up the desktop & post something back in about 30min or less.
You attached a .png file eek. Do you have one in a jpeg?
Anyways here is a quick jpg conversion, it's getting a bit late...see if this works for now..
It may still be to big, I'm tired.

A lot of detail gets lost in reducing the image to less than 2000 bytes.
It would be better to find a photo that has a more contrasting back ground, less white.
I then can try adding in additional contrast & sharpening.
The clearer high quality 5+ mega pixel camera image in a Jpeg, is the best way to start.

IDK why Avatar has to be so picky. Your file size is almost 5 KB.
I have special software that reduces images and then also reduces quality to under 2KB= fun.
Post a bit of a larger clear image that you want here, & I'll try to get one right for you in reply that should work.

Took a new pic, 64MP. cropped and https://imgur.com/JFUgvHA
please do your magic?
I tried paint3d and reg paint. shrank to 65x63 but still 3.45kb and no go.

Your avatar's file size is too large. Please upload an avatar no bigger than 2 KB.

I have looked at a lot of other members' avatars are most are over the 2kb limit. why not for me? Like yours is 3.39k.

 

[LibertyTC]

This is not easy, another half hour reducing sharpening & was still too big.
This one should work at 1993 kb.

All I can think of is my avatar was uploaded well before the Forum was switched to XenForo software.

sigh blurry is the norm i guess. thanks. and it worked.

 

[LibertyTC]

You're welcome.
Doesn't look too bad considering to get to 1993 kb required reducing & then drop it back further, to 30% of small original quality.

Is it possible for one of the mods/admins to increase the maximum file size for an avatar image? 2KB is absurdly small! Photoshop can't even compress my 200x200 jpeg image below 40KB. I don't imagine anyone is on dial up anymore, so trying to minimize image sizes is irrelevant.

 

[LibertyTC]

Leave it with me, all I can do is propose a slightly larger file size. What I would really like to see is an auto re-sizing avatar.
I'll add that to the XenForo wish list to the developers, & see what they say.
Tech has now been contacted.

Avatar limits have been adjusted and I was able to upload my avatar today. Thank you LibertyTC!
