The maximum upload dimensions for an image is 15000x15000 pixels (see e621:supported filetypes).
You need to either split it up or crop out 400px of whitespace to fit inside the limit.

Thank you for your reply.
I think a work has the right to maintain its integrity, including reading experience.

I probably would not to modify it.

You could also just resize it very slightly. But seriously, cropping some of the top whitespace really shouldn't be an issue.

Hi, I have updated a case. You can continue to discuss this new case if you would.

There is nothing else to discuss, the limit is there to prevent people from posting unnecessarily large/long/wide images.

You have already been told of the possible solutions:
Either shrink it down (the least invasive method), split it up, or crop out any necessary whitespace to fit inside the upload limit.

It feels like we've been over this before. The idea that resolution limits should be about total pixel counts rather than individual dimensions. FA does it that way now, although obviously their limits are much smaller. "Unnecessarily long/wide" is subjective, and assumes people aren't capable of scrolling when that's probably exactly what the artist intended them to do.

> inb4 someone posts a 200x1125000 px image (equivalent to 15000x15000 px by pixel count) just because they can

OK, since our dimension limits are so much bigger than FA's, having a separate max-side limit might still be warranted. For that matter, if we switched from raw dimensions to total pixel count, we might not even need to go as high as the 2.25 GIGAPIXELS it's at now; do we currently have anything in the system that big or even close?

order:mpixels.

also, 15k px² is 225 Megapixels. 2.25 gigapixels would be ~47.5k px²
