Image size for uploading.
Curious about what is acceptable for uploading, I read that the minimum size is 1.6mp and that is all fine, but I find people upload images from Pixiv all the time, and rarely do those images ever match that size even on the largest view, yet the image here is always of much greater dimensions. Is it acceptable to enlarge the image to match minimum size using something like Photoshop? I would love to start contributing after lurking around here for years, but didn't want to commit some terrible mistake in uploading. Thanks for any advice!

Upscaled images will be deleted.

Curious about you saying low-res images are being uploaded? Give me an example.

Example?
Example I was pondering earlier was this one https://yande.re/post/show/374690 , the posted image is much larger than the one the source linked me to. I might be missing something elementary on Pixiv, and if I am then please correct me! Is there a way to view even larger images via Pixiv? I would love to be able to find larger images for uploading, but rarely find them fitting the minimum upload size.

There is a <-> icon on the top left of each page that can lead you to the bigger version in manga modes.

Well that answers my question, thank you very much! Not sure how I overlooked that button for so long.
