I created a CG collection, but what file format and resolution is best?
How should folders be arranged? This guide is designed to help you with registering such products.
1. File Creation
- Resolution
The recommended resolution for 4:3 images is [ 1600x1200 ] .
Higher resolutions are possible, but larger file sizes increase download time, may cause display hiccups, or make the product difficult to view. - File Format
The recommended file format is JPEG. This file format is the most frequently applied for. - File Names
We recommend using alphanumerical characters for file names. The number of digits should be the same for each file.
Certain file names may mess with the display order of some browsing environments
Easily disturbed display orders: 1.2.3...99,100,101...
Ideal display order: 001. 002. 003...099,100,101...
2. Folder Configuration
It is okay to insert all the images as-is in a folder.
In case of variations (text-less versions, etc.), most circles divide these into separate folders.
However, if folder are heavily divided up by base CG or each scene, browsing between folders may require frequent clicking.
For this reason, we recommend keeping a small number of folders!
3. File Compression
Change the folder name of the folder containing the product to the name of the product, and then compress it into a ZIP file.
If you are unsure about compression methods, please refer to the page below.
Windows help: zip and unzip files
macOS user guide: compress / uncompress files and folders on Mac
4. Preparing a Main Product Image, Thumbnail Image, and Sample Images
- Main Product Image:
The image displayed for the product on the description page, and on the top page of the site.
Resolution: 560x420
File format: JPG, PNG (no transparency setting) - Thumbnail Image:
The image displayed during a product search from the search bar, and on the DLsite Play product list.
Resolution: 300x300
File format: JPG, PNG (no transparency setting) - Sample Images:
The images displayed as samples on the product description page, separate from the main product image.
Up to 10 product samples can be registered.
Sample image selection can also be left to the discretion of DLsite if so desired.
Resolution: 2000x or lower, max. 2MB per image
File format: JPG, PNG (no transparency setting)
* As these images will be viewed by many users, we ask that you refrain from choosing images with extreme depictions.
