I recreated same files as .jpg and would like the .png versions deleted because they're huge. The jpg quality is fine for these.

 Keep The files are only about 5mb each, which is relatively small. Many modern cameras will often create far larger files. PNG is also preferred over JPG, where available, as PNG doesn't reduce image quality through compression. If you are talking about the size of the images in terms of number of pixels, the media wiki software is usually good at auto-scaling the images, so that isn't an issue.

Hi @From Hill To Shore: . I just didn't know. Thanks for the info.  :) --The Eloquent Peasant (talk) 02:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@The Eloquent Peasant: Com:Thumbnail image is the guidance, and what will happen for the reproduction at enWS, as they will be set somewhat within the work, they will be cached at that level which means readily available rather than regenerated on every occasion.

Kept: jpg and png are both acceptable, even duplicates.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:38, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
