Limiting Transferred Photo Resolution


 

Is it possible to control the file size of transferred photos by limiting and re-sizing the resolution at the time of import?

Yes.? Before the transfer is done, go to the Settings page, scroll down to Features, a little further to Photos, and set the "Max Size In Photos Section".

Are you sure of that? The Features | Photos | Max Size in Photos Section description reads, "Automatically resize photos uploaded to the photos section that are larger than a specific size."

That refers to photos uploaded; it does not say or imply "Transferred."

I believe that setting works for new uploaded photos; I don't know it applies to the photos transferred from the Yahoo Group.

Is anyone certain of the answer?

I was asking about how the groups.io photo transfer process treats photos moved to groups.io. Are they moved at the resolution of the Yahoo Group photo or are they reduced to a lower resolution if, for example, the Max Size in Photos Section is set to a lower resolution, 1024 x 1024, for example.

That is, does the resolution limit in Settings set before transfer happens affect the size of transferred photos?

Hello Duane,
Is it possible to do this after a group is transferred? Example after a group is transferred to IO you see total total data footprint on IO exceeds the group type ie: free vs premium max data allocation by some manageable amount.

Could the 'Max Size' then be run to reduce the total foot print of the group to bring it under the group type size max?

If so this could be a way to reduce data used without actually deleting any photos.

Thanks,
Charlie

It does, and I am. I had to make use of that fact when transferring one of my own groups (which had about 4.7 GB of photos at Yahoo).

The transfer agent downloads the images at full resolution from Yahoo, and then applies the setting as it copies them into your Groups.io group.
