Reply to comment by ryanCrypt in NES releases by Year! HD image linked in comments (182 megs) by DarkPhenomenon

Do you have any idea how to reduce the file size while keeping it high rez enough to read all the game images?

File size is determined by 3 things: resolution and imagine compression and file type.

Not sure where you created it. Photoshop can export, changing res and compression.

Otherwise, Google for "free online image resizer".

Your picture is png. I think Jpeg will give you smaller file size.

DM me or reply if necessary and I'll create for you (after you give good college try first)

I made it a png to keep it rounded (my understanding was jpegs will be square regardless). the resolution is so large because I wanted the game images to be readable when zoomed in. I'll try dropping the resolution a little and see how the readability is

Yea halfing the resolution cut the size down to about 50 megs, making it a jpg did make it square so there was just fill in the background

Ah. I see.

Jpeg doesn't support transparency. Png does support transparency. 50 mb is at least almost manageable.

Try exporting it to an SVG File to see how that works.
