Good Day I'm working on a 50GB image of generated Fractals (250,000 x 76,000 pixels) which I wish to upload and link it to the "Fractals" page of wikipedia as a demonstration of Fractals diversity and capabilities. I would appreciate any recommendations on how to upload it, how the browser would show it ... etc. Thank you E. Victor

See https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Server-side_upload for more info and required data.
could you clarify what the file format is? what is the size in SVG if 50GB is not SVG? any examples of other websites or applications that display similar scale fractals? so we can see how their UI/implementation works. thanks
File would be *.png format (a raster image) Example of a gigapixal fractal (though only BW, my design will be full colour) http://gigapan.com/gigapans?tags=fractal

As a quick response, there is no way that the servers could scale this image. No one will be able to download it either, it'll just take an age... At that point, uploading a 50GB image really isn't going to happen, there's just no point
Ok, what's the max dimensions/size you could handle, so i'll try to upload a reduced version ? thanks

Noted :-) Thanks a lot
