I’m newbie in IOS app development. I found a pretty nice background picture for free, but my problem is it’s 10MB, res is 5472 × 3648. When I want to generate 1x,2x,3x assets from it, size increases to over 100MB. What is the minimum raw size for ios development? After the resize, I can export the assets in smaller size.
hi @brobee,
for such cases, there is a bit of a cheating,
use lower res images and scale them up to the size you want at runtime
save the image as a JPG than a PNG
I am not sure if TextureMaps would help you much here, but it’s worth a try
There are utlities that compress the PNG files too
Yes, obviously I need to use lower res/ need to resize them, but the question, what is the expected minimum size in this case I do not want to resize it too much to avoid the final background look ugly…
Honestly, I did not get the point how can I scale them up to the size at runtime, do you have an example, or just a small explanation would be helpful.
