Matt Ashmore Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Tyler.. this confuses a number of people. A JPEG file is already compressed.. so when you look at your JPEG file in Windows Explorer and see that it's 8MB, this is already compressed. 'JPEG' is essentially a compression algorithm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG). A lot of image editing software will have an option somewhere to show you the true size of the image This Alamy blog describes how to check file size in photoshop: http://www.alamy.com/blog/one-thing-every-designer-needs-know-buying-images Or if you are lazy like me, there is an Alamy Size Check app that you can download and use to check file sizes before you submit: http://www.braeside.plus.com/photography/alamy/alamy.html This thread also discusses the same topic as you've just raised: http://discussion.alamy.com/index.php?/topic/3533-image-size-of-minimum-17-mb/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
