CodeBase Image Size Guidelines – Are They Mandatory?
I’ve noticed that some developers upload images to the CodeBase that exceed the recommended 750×500 size.
In my view, displaying a full chart often provides better clarity than showing only a portion—especially when the chart includes multiple drawn objects.
Could someone please clarify whether the recommended image size is mandatory? If it is not strictly enforced, are there any drawbacks to uploading larger images, such as full charts?
Additionally, does this recommendation apply only when attaching image files, or does it also apply when inserting images using the image upload button?
I am not an expert so correct me if im wrong but I know that the 750×500 size in MQL5 CodeBase is more of a recommendation than a strict rule. However, in practice, images wider than ~750 px are automatically resized by the platform, which can significantly reduce quality.
So while you can upload larger images (like full charts), the drawback is that you lose control over clarity due to compression/resizing.
The guideline applies to all images, whether attached or inserted via the upload button, since they go through the same processing system.
That’s why most developers stick to the recommended size, it ensures better readability and presentation.

Appreciate your help!
Before posting the unique code that I have posted, a moderator told to reduce my images size to 750 px.
Thank you for sharing that, my friend. The moderators have been very supportive and attentive in their guidance. It definitely makes the platform more welcoming and helps maintain high standard of quality.

I should also mention that I’m happy to follow the recommended guidelines—this is purely out of curiosity and a desire to better understand best practices.
