BMP or JPG zips ?

Wednesday, April 30, 2003 by GreyTata | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hy guys, I would like to know if I can submit my wall's on jpg zips or if I have to submit them as bmp.zips and use only jpg for previews?
My question has to do with the fact that I have submitted some of them in jpg's zips and after uploading and when checking " my skins" they were not there. I repeated later on with bmp's and they arrived to destination.

Any info about this would be helpful. Thanks
WOM

You may submit your walls in either format. BMP or JPG.

considering that every now and then the bandwidth use of this site is an issue, you should consider to upload zipped JPEG files.

if you zip a BMP the upload/download size gets much smaller than a plain BMP as ZIP uses PNG compression for BMPs, but it´s still a larger file than a 100% quality JPEG in 95% of all cases.
