If you're unsure where something is, it's Lem's responsibility. You can ask him. Okay. The cover art files should always be 3,000 by 3,000 pixels, correct? It’s too large for the web.

But it's necessary for distribution purposes. I always have to download the cover art.

I use Photoshop. You can do this in CapCut, Canva, or by searching online for ways to reduce image size. Mm-hmm. Anything like that will work. I save it as 1,000 by 1,000 before uploading to the website.

Okay. To try to reduce the amount of space.
