Sizing non-free images
[edit]It may be helpful to know that non-free images must be no more than 100,000 pixels, which could be 316 x 316 pixels, or 250 x 400, or (more commonly) something like 285 x 350. You need to take care not to exceed this even by a pixel; I generally size non-free images to 99,800 just to be on the safe side.
Otherwise, your images will attract the attention of a bot, which will shrink your image to 100k pixels, making it vilely fuzzy in the process (its resizing algorithm is nasty, brutish, and short, to coin a phrase).
You'll get much nicer results if you use a graphics editor to crop or resize your images (using "smart size" or something of that sort) followed by "unsharp mask" adjusted to give a sharp image but without obtrusive sharpening artefacts (like white edges all over the place).
Given that the resulting thumbnail is really small, it's best to crop as far as possible so that the detail in the remaining key bits of the image is actually legible.
There is an 'Image resize calculator' at Toolforge. You enter the X and Y dimensions of your (cropped) image, e.g. 1475 x 825, and a desired pixel size, eg. 99800, and it tells you to resize the image to 422 x 236 ... which will evade the attentions of the bot.
I've done the trolls image for you.

- Thank you very much! I've just been adding the resize template but I'll do it manually from now on. Paccyd33 (talk) 00:01, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hyperfunk until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.11WB (talk) 14:20, 20 January 2026 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:HYPERFUNK.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:HYPERFUNK.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:17, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
