Here's an easier way to resize your large thread images. - Fυcĸleѕѕ - Mar 1, 2018

We all know images can be resized by putting custom dimensions in the image tag:

Code 
[img=200x300]image.png[/img]

The problem is if you don't know the original dimensions, it's hard to do without throwing off the aspect ratio and fucking up your image.

1) Instead of using pixels, use a percentage:

Code 
[img=50%]image.png[/img]

2) Preview your thread and the percentage will be replaced with the length x width.

Like so:

In all my years of being here, I didn't realise it was this easy to re-size an image straight on HF. Used to spend ages resizing them manually.

Nice tutorial man. I'll be sure to follow this whenever I need to do this.

Hmm, I think I knew about this but never used it, this is pretty useful. Thanks for the guide. I'll definitely use it.

Does it accept more than 100%? Like 110%?

Asking, because I don't have an image to test it on right now.

Been on HF for years and yet I didn't know about this...
Always putting huge images between spoiler tags while there's actually a solution for it lol

It does. Seems like the only thing that doesn't always work is making a really small image even smaller.

Hmm, it can't get too small, otherwise it wouldn't even be 1px x 1px. 🤐
