Resizing

[Phil P]

I have an image I want to upload to a hobby forum. The forum's rules state that the image can be no more than 75 bytes. Is there a way to resize an image in Affinity to an exact byte size, without using a trial and error method?

I think you've probably misread that rule, or restated it incorrectly. You can't have an image that's only 75 bytes. 

But no, you can't specify the desired size in bytes with the Affinity applications. The Export process will give you an estimate, though, based on your image size and the options you've specified.

And they usually give a maximum size, this means that under this size, it's also acceptable.

Goofy me. Of course not. 75Kb. 

Do you happen to know of a photo resizer that does allow the resize parameters in byte size?

Thanks!

Yes, in this case max size is 75 kb.

Thanks!

Walt.Farrell, thanks for reminding me of the estimated size calculation using the Export function.  That's just what I needed.

What’s your operating system?

Edit: It looks as though you can manage without third-party software for this!

Hi Alfred, it's Windows 10, latest update.
