Question

I get this message when I try to upload a pic of myself on IMVU, how do I change the format of my picture so that it is suitable?

Answer 1

I do not know if you have a software program already loaded on your PC/laptop but open the photo in that program and "save as" a different format that will be recognized by that program.

Answer 2

Right click on the image in your file.  choose edit in the pop up menu.  under "image" choose "attributes".  You can choose the right size there.  Remember to save it with a new name including the word web so it will not erase your original.

Answer 3

Download and install the freeware IrfanView, it has many useful features, yet is extremely easy to handle. Once it is installed, open your pic with it, go to "image" in the top bar, click "change size", enter the desired size, also change the DPI (dots per inch) settings to 72, then save your pic as .jpg or .gif.

By downsizing your pic, saving it in a lesser format and also reducing the DPI settings, you may keep quite a few people from stealing your pictures, as they still look good on the site, but when you try to enlarge them or print them, the quality will become blurry. That's why you should keep a copy of the original high quality on your computer!

Answer 4

you can either take the pic using a low resolution or use a photo editing program and edit the size of the photo. either way will get the file size down to specs
