Standards for CS pets please

[Aliria]

Support. Giant pets can get pretty annoying.

It reminds me of the time before there were sig limits and people were using literal wallpapers for their signature, destroying any hope of access for mobile and desktop alike.

SUPPORT 100%

They're way too big. Also makes you lag on Mobile, as Iris said above above

Can we have a site-supported downsized version of pet images?

Yes please. CS pets are rather low res to save the server. They look fine on their own but if you try to shrink it yourself, quality goes downhill quick. I'll try the png trick in the meantime.

This is a cool idea, support. I don't really mind the oversized pets but being able to downsize them sounds great

You know what I find really funny? I know I'm zoomed in and all, but my screen really isn't that small lol I can't marvel at the full beauty of these babies when they appear; I gotta open their images separately, away from wherever they appeared xD

Major support

[Pyromaniacal]

Support for a resize option!

[Goostarion]

Definitely support. It is problematic considering the Signature's were fitted to display 3 pets back in the day. It doesn't work now because of larger pets. And from a signature standpoint, I don't really want to see signature sizes increase either... That isn't the way to go.

Bump! And while I'm here:

The weird thing about CS pet images is that they appear to be transparent JPGs. I'm pretty sure the JPG format actually doesn't support transparency. I think CS pet images are pseudo-JPGs. Looking for a post from Nick or Tess about it because I swear I saw them post something about that... like they're PNGs hiding behind the JPG file extension or something? not sure

So I never did find the post that I was thinking about, but I did find this ("our dressed-up pet images are always served as 32-bit PNG")

[Goostarion]

Yeah JPGs aren't transparent. They must have a background but when they are converted to PNG (aka dressing a pet) the background layer of the pet which is pseudo in a way is removed and each image (item) becomes png to be layered upon layered into the newly founded png of the pet. It's quite interesting looking at the image history properties of a pet and how it evolves.
