I just submitted this question, and I don't like the way my .png image renders. I often make diagrams in questions and answers using Microsoft paint, which produces a .png. In Physics stack exchange it displays always as big as humanly possible. Is there a way to make the picture display smaller?

You can get three different sizes from imgur pictures by manipulating the URL directly: For your example, we start with https://i.stack.imgur.com/4x2NJ.png and append either s, m or l in front of the file extension:

  [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4x2NJs.png

yields

and

yields

  • $\begingroup$ Microsoft Paint can also output files in other formats. (jpg, bmp, gif). Can I assume that a similar procedure will also work for them? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @D.Halsey Yes, this should work for all file formats supported by imgur. $\endgroup$
