How do i upload high quality images?
I want to upload a 6000x3000 image, but the image becomes 480x240. I converted the file JPG to SVG but when I uploaded the SVG file, it didn't work anyway… How will I do this?

How do i upload high quality images?
For the highest quality image, you'll want to scale it down to at most 960x720 in another image editor.
Alternatively, you could use a Scratch mod called TurboWarp; open the Addons page (on the menu bar) and search for and enable the “HD image uploads” addon (optionally setting the image sizing option on it). Then, in the TurboWarp editor (click “See inside” on the menu bar), go to the Costumes tab and select the HD Upload option.

You can now select your PNG and it will be imported at full resolution, as a properly-converted vector image (the image might be scaled down depending on your settings, but it can be scaled back up without quality loss). You can now export the SVG (right click -> export) and import it back into Scratch. Just note that you can't edit the bitmap if you do this (as it's a bitmap embedded in a vector image), and converting the costume to bitmap will crop and lower the quality of the image.
