Hi there, Tatiana. Can you let me know what type of block you're using? Also, if you can share the image file here, that would help with testing. If not, let me know the original image dimensions and what you're seeing. We'll see what we can do!
Just want to echo what Alyssa said, adding a _NOPROCESS_ tells Rise 360 not to compress the image file. Compression reduces the file size of your image, which affects the quality of an image although it is not always noticeable. There are several factors when you notice the degradation, some examples are if your image is already small in file size, has already been significantly compressed prior to upload, or is just of poor quality to begin with. Compression doesn't change the dimensions of your image file.
Checking your image example, the _NOPROCESS_ is working as expected. If you are familiar inspecting course assets in your browser console, you'll see that the _NOPROCESS_ image you uploaded exactly have the same file size as the file in your computer. In short, we are just displaying exactly the file you uploaded. The one without, however, is smaller in file size.
Hi Stephanie! Just to confirm, _NOPROCESS_ will work on .jpg file types as well. If you're having trouble with a certain image file, you can share it privately with us here. We'll be happy to help!
another poor work around, while paying a premium price for a program that has very little editability and customisation. It has been like this for years
Any idea if there's plans for adding a 'Do not compress image' checkbox on uploading an image? It seems a bit odd that there's an undocumented feature that's only available via word-of-mouth on the forums.
Pro Tip: If you'd like an image to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Just add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that file size limits still apply.
Yes, the _NOPROCESS_ file name has to be in all caps and spelled exactly like that before the system can recognize linked images as a media file that shouldn't be compressed. Can I ask if you are encountering any issues with this when publishing your Rise 360 course?
I found that in addition to putting _NOPROCESS_ in the file name, if you are exporting from Adobe Illustrator optimising the export settings improves the image sharpness.
Nous avons crée un module Rise avec 18 vidéos (520 mo au total) mais après export en scorm le fichier atteint une taille de 950 mo. Comme nous utilisons un lms pour nos formations qui nous impose une taille maximum de 750 mo par fichier, j'ai voulu utilisé la commande _NOPROCESS_ mais lors du chargement du fichier vidéo, je reste bloqué sur .... Processing video ... qui tourne en boucle.

Make this part of your filename:
_NOPROCESS_

Hi Garrick!
To add to what Karl shared, adding _NOPROCESS_ to the image file name tells Rise 360 not to compress the image file.
A file named car.png would become car_NOPROCESS_.png. Does that help?
Hi there!
This solution worked previously, but it does not help anymore.
Files with _NOPROCESS_ in the name look compressed after uploading to the system.
Is there any they to double-check this?

Hy Crystal here the same problem. I have addes _NOPROCESS_ in the filename but it remains the same Size, Resoultion.

Hope this helps!
Does anyone know if this works in Storyline as well? Also does it work on vidoes?
Hi Martin! This will work only in Rise.
I believe _NOPROCESS_ only works on .PNG file types - not .JPG file types.

Is this still a thing? do we still need to add _noprocess onto every file?
Hi Davina! Yes, you can still add _NOPROCESS_to your image file name if you don't want Rise 360 to compress the image file.
Hi Hazel. Does this apply to jpeg as well please?
Hi Nicole,
You can use _NOPROCESS_ for any image file type supported by Rise.
Any idea if there's plans for adding a 'Do not compress image' checkbox on uploading an image? It seems a bit odd that there's an undocumented feature that's only available via word-of-mouth on the forums.
Hi Tom,
The checkbox is a good suggestion.
FYI, the use of _NOPROCESS_ is documented.

Does _NOPROCESS_ have to be in all caps for this to work?
Hi Theresa,
Yes, the _NOPROCESS_ file name has to be in all caps and spelled exactly like that before the system can recognize linked images as a media file that shouldn't be compressed. Can I ask if you are encountering any issues with this when publishing your Rise 360 course?

Adding _NOPROCESS_ to a .tiff image results in a broken image when you upload it to Rise.
Bonjour la communauté,
Nous avons crée un module Rise avec 18 vidéos (520 mo au total) mais après export en scorm le fichier atteint une taille de 950 mo. Comme nous utilisons un lms pour nos formations qui nous impose une taille maximum de 750 mo par fichier, j'ai voulu utilisé la commande _NOPROCESS_ mais lors du chargement du fichier vidéo, je reste bloqué sur .... Processing video ... qui tourne en boucle.
Avez-vous une solution ?
Merci pour votre aide
