Why is thumbsnap max 2mb upload?

[smiffy180]

I tried searching but didn't find anything.
I'm curious as to why it's 2mb and why it can't resize for you which would be handy.

Because 2mb is more than adequate for sticking a picture on an internet forum. Would be mighty frustrating if everyone uploaded 16 megapixel, 5mb files directly from their camera.

Agreed, it would be handy if it could resize and compress for you.

Why do you need to post such big files anyway?

Contact.


Try pixlr to resize and edit though.

My phone takes pictures at 2.1MB! Frustrating when you're trying to win the photo location game

Thanks LG but I'm not a mission just wanted to see if there was a reason

take a snapshot of the picture and upload that instead. Will be lower res and (I imagine) under the 2mb limit.
