Images and photos resizing

All images uploaded via the GeoOp app are resized to optimised your experience. The resizing is automatically done by the system so all images have a resolution of 1200 pixels maximum.

The resizing rules is the following one:

  • If the image's width and height is < 1200 pixels, then GeoOp do not resize the image

  • If the image's width or height is > 1200 pixels, then GeoOp resizes the image to 1200 pixels while maintaining the original ratio. For example:

    • if the image resolution is 1600x800 pixels, GeoOp will resize it to 1200x600 pixels

    • if image resolution is 800x1600 pixels, GeoOp will resize it to 600x1200 pixels

Images and photos compression

The GeoOp app uses that standard process to reduce the quality of all images/photos uploaded to 80% of their original size.

Image compression is a process applied to a graphics file to minimise its size without degrading image quality below an acceptable threshold. By reducing the file size, more images can be stored in a given amount of disk or memory space. It also reduces the upload/download time and optimise the experience across the platform.

For example, it helps reducing the time required to generate documents that include images and their size so it can easily be shared via email with your clients.

Are resizing and compression impacting the quality of my images?

These two processes are standard across web and mobile products and is widely used. Depending on the quality of the original image, the quality can be slightly reduced. However, the images should remain in a non-pixelated format and the difference should be hardly visible on your screen or documents generated via GeoOp.
