Hey everyone

In my other posts, you may see that i have had trouble with large base64 strings from bitmaps.
Is there a way to keep the image size the same, but decrease the amount of pixels?
I've tried using Jpg instead of Png, but that made minor differences.

Thanks

You don't.

Reducing the number of pixels will ALWAYS reduce the image size. With a "reduced" number of pixels, you get the illusion of a larger image only when it's displayed by scaling up a smaller image fit a display area larger than the image. This results in a fuzzier display and a "pixelated" look.

Give up the Base64 encoding and learn how to do it for real.

stop being nasty, if you gave me an actual answer instead of telling me what not to do, maybe i will stop asking, mister 249k.
maybe you should give me a "Short and to the point, my 5!" as well, Maciej Los.

The quality of the answer you get is directly dictated by the quality of the question you ask. You're asking "how do I do this very specific thing that makes no sense at all" instead of explaining that you're "trying to make a remote desktop application and this is the problem I'm running into". Which question do you think is going to get the better answer?
