Files and formats

What kind of image files can I upload and add to my video?

You can upload in Stupeflix most photos and images from your computer: JPG, PNG, or GIF.
BMP and RAW files are not supported, these are uncompressed images that tend to be large and take too long to upload. Alpha channels (transparency) are supported for PNG and GIF images. The maximum image file size that can be uploaded on Stupeflix is 40MB.

What's the best resolution of images to upload?

If the resolution of your images is smaller than the resolution of the video you want to make, images will appear pixelated in the video. If your images are in very high resolution, as new digital cameras with 10 mega pixels and more allow, they will take a long time to upload. We found that the sweet spot for image resolution is a bit higher than the video you want to make. We recommend uploading images of at least 1 mega pixel, so you can upgrade your video to High Definition without losing in quality. For instance 1200x900 to 1600x1200 images look great even in High Definition videos, while being relatively quick to upload.
