We are pleased to announce that we have raised the maximum file size accepted through AlamyUpload to 25MB. Please note that this is the compressed file size.

Some contributors still seem baffled by JPEGS and compression, so we hope the following clarification will help.

When a file is saved as a JPEG it is compressed, the uncompressed file size (for example when it is opened in Photoshop) needs to be 48MB or above.

Usually when sending JPEGS that will be over 48MB uncompressed, they are likely to be a compressed file size of between 3 and 10MB.

More and more contributors are enjoying the benefits of AlamyUpload, if you haven't switched yet why not follow the link in My Alamy and have a go.
