Please forgive my ignorance, but I am looking for clarification
"profile_sizes": [
"w45",
"w185",
"h632",
"original"
],
"still_sizes": [
"w92",
"w185",
"w300",
"original"
]
I assume profile_sizes are for Actor images?
What are still_sizes for?
I was reading up on correct resolutions to request from TMDB for actor images, and also note that under profile_sizes you have listed a h632. Does this mean sized by height, not by width? I see a few actor images now on TMDb that are 1000x1500, and will like to get lower resolutions.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my ID10T questions.
PS, I have been reading on your latest image changes https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5a5bf3860e0a260d9d0013c5

Both the profile and the still sizes work for actors.
See these tests:

Correct.
Still sizes are episode images.
That means the size is constrained by height, and not width while keeping the aspect ratio the same. It's the reverse of all of the
w
sizes, which constrain by width.Réponse de Rob

Hi Travis.
Thanks for the clarification, helps me a fair bit.
Getting back to profile_sizes. In the Contribution bible, profile image size is minimum 300 x 450.
Profile - Image Bible
I would assume then there would have been a "w300" also listed under profile_sizes?

There is no
w300
listed on profiles. That's just the minimum size we want to support as a database.The key reason why there's a list of official sizes is that we can control the number of cached variants we store thus drastically increasing the speed/reliability/cost of our image service. Since
w300
is a valid size for stills, it won't go anywhere. I would say that generally, it's ok to use.Réponse de ticao2 🇧🇷 pt-BR
