Beta - Publish pictures

One of the most common file format to publish in PLAYipp is pictures. To get the best result on your pictures, it's important to choose the best file format for your that specific picture. Photos should be in a JPG format and logos or illustrations should be PNG. For best results; use images that have the same or higher resolution than the surface image to be published on. The same applies if you drastically reduce the size of an image. Then many details can disappear. You can see in this guide how to find out the resolution of your area: What resolution is the area I am publishing to?
