A compressed or downscaled version of an image, created by a website to reduce load times or save bandwidth.
Samples should not be uploaded to AIBooru. Uploading samples can be avoided by using the proper source URL on the upload page. AIBooru will automatically upload the best-quality version of the image given the correct source URL.
It is AIBooru policy to either replace samples with the full-size version, or delete them if the full-size version is already on AIBooru. You can ask for samples to be replaced in topic #172, or flag them for deletion if the full-size version is already uploaded.
Not to be confused with sample watermarks, which are promotional images with a "SAMPLE" watermark. Also not be confused with revisions or alternate resolutions of the same image produced by the artist.
