Our unique upload process has several advantages: 

smaller images, perhaps shot with digital cameras, are effortlessly resized for you to market standards
standardizing file sizes enables us to price the service by quantity of images rather than gigabytes, facilitating your budgeting and return on investment projections
clients like predictability of file sizes that meet market standards
As an example, in a 35mm format , each file is automatically resized to be 12 x 18 inches at 300 d.p.i. upon upload which is a 56 MB file size
the unique software used by StockPipeline.com maximizes quality upon resizing like no other process
any size JPEG may be uploaded, but ones that are already 18x12 are best
