    Hi Jordy,

    I have a very basic question I was hoping you can clarify for me. I am a little unclear about what the Pro Version does that the Standard Version does not do, as well as why I need to upload a file size of 2048×2048 or larger and not just files with 2048px width. (My website is 1024px wide, so I am uploading pictures with the width of 2048px, but they don’t necessarily have a height of 2048px and usually something like 1536px.

    1. It says: The full-size images should have a resolution of 2048×2048 at least for the plugin to be able generate the 19 retina images required by your website. You also need to upload a retina image for the Full Size image (it should normally be 4096×4096). You can upload or replace the images by drag & drop.

    a. What is “Full-Size Retina” for? Are you referring to when the whole website is a picture?

    b. Why does it need to be 4096x4096px if my website is just 1024px wide? Wouldn’t 2048px be enough?

    2. If my website is 1024px wide, if my images were all uploaded at 2048px width, why would my file’s height need to be 2048px or higher as well?

    3. I am very interested in the Pro Version, but I wanted to get an understanding what it really does for me. I read through your tutorials and FAQs, but could not 100% understand what it does for me that the standard version doesn’t do.

    I wanted to thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to my questions and for making what appears to be a great plugin!

    Thanks,

    Kaz

    Hello Kaz,

    1. Full Size retina is a retina image for your Full Size. I usually don’t recommend to use this but there are a few websites that don’t want to use those image sizes, only one instead. In that case, you need a retina for the full-size since there is only that size.

    The website width and your image sizes are two different things. This 4096x4096px has been calculated base one your current image sizes.

    2. Not sure why, this is again linked to your current image sizes, maybe that would be interesting to list them (they are in your media settings and your theme settings – it is available in the pro version of the plugin in the details)

    3. More information, and assistance for full-size. It makes your life easier basically and add a few features, but nothing vital. I also provide more support to those users.
