About profile icon.

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!
I think the size limit of the profile icon is too strict. :yuck:

I want to use the picture which take.
But it is too large size.(over 3mb?)
So, I resized it. However I could not go below the file size no matter how small the icon was.

I think it is impossible to fit the file size within 2 kb. Besides, as the capacity of servers grows, today's limitation on file size may be relaxed.

I used google translate.

Ok, noted, but doubt it will change

Then i think your picture is in a wrong file-formate, like a picture in RAW or BMP, and they contain a lot of stuff, but are also HUGE in size. Try to convert, and resize
Use a converter to convert it to jpeg and see if that does fix the size.
I also tried to insert a profile icon, but after half an hour of unsuccessful testing I stopped (I tried to limit the number of colors to 256, the jpeg format, etc.). I was unable to reach the maximum limit.
