Optimal size for images to eliminate resizing

Hello, I have some diagrams that I drew in Inkscape to include with an upcoming instructable, and I'd like to upload images that won't be automatically resized by the instructables website, to preserve the clarity of the text. Does anyone know of an optimal size for images so that they won't be resized by the website? Thanks, mat_the_w

I don't know but I'd right click on some images and check the pixel count. See if you can see a pattern then try a couple of different sizes to see if you like it. If there isn't that much text you could put a comment box around the text. That way people could get a pop up of the text by mousing over it.
