All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page: Difference between revisions

Line 113:
If it's bigger than 400-500 pixels horizontally, you're going to want to shrink it. It's a vector image (SVG format or something else) that needs to be scaled, you'll have to set the image width. There are a couple ways of doing this; we suggest you use this markup unless there's a reason not to:
 
{{quote|<nowiki>[[File:Name of Your Uploaded File.jpg|thumb|500px400px]]</nowiki>}}
 
Vertical bar, the word "thumb", another vertical bar, "500px400px", and two right square brackets. This means "put a thumbnail image 500400 pixels wide inside a frame and make it flush against the right edge of the page". If that looks too big to you, feel free to use a smaller number; 400px350px or 300px are both good compromises between size and viewability.
