HOW to use IMGUR so your pictures are not full size
When you select a picture in IMGUR, on the right there is a menu on the right that lets you select how to display the picture.
You can also just change the link to the picture by adding a letter at the end of the image name.
Example: if your image URL is ht tps://i.imgur.com/ 78947u432.jpg, you add the l to the image name: ht tps://i.imgur.com/ 78947u432l.jpg
Here are some dimensions and letters to choose from:
s = Small Square (90×90)
b = Big Square (160×160)
t = Small Thumbnail (160×160)
m = Medium Thumbnail (320×320)
l = Large Thumbnail (640×640)
h = Huge Thumbnail (1024×1024)
