What is the best bitmap size to insert into android studo?

Question

I have a couple images that I am adding to android studio, however, I will the error that, the bitmap is to large. Additionally, larger bitmaps will increase my heap amount and create my app to run slower, therefore, I am asking what the ideal image size to upload is for a reasonable sized bitmap?

What do you mean exactly with bitmaps? And when you write "Android Studio", do you actually mean Android Studio or are you trying to load pictures into `Bitmap`s in an Android app? — Darwind, Feb 04 '16 at 19:13

There is nothing like 'ideal size', read about Android screen support. Every group of screen have a different size, so you should place as many images as screen group. You can read more in other question.

If you want to make image smaller, you can use Kraken for PNG images, or you can also convert them to the WEBP format.
