 * Hi Sara, try changing the Large size under Settings > Media to 1272 pixels? That’s
   the largest image it can accommodate, as you can see on [the theme information page.](http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ryu/)
 * After doing that, could you please re-upload and re-insert your image.
 * Let me know how it goes.

 * Hi Kathryn,
    about the same image: [http://178.239.177.177/wp-admin/post.php?post=1151&action=edit](http://178.239.177.177/wp-admin/post.php?post=1151&action=edit)
 * I saw the largest image in a post “standard”,
    see: [http://178.239.177.177/size-image/](http://178.239.177.177/size-image/)
 * but
 * I saw the largest image in a post “video”,
    see: [http://178.239.177.177/image-size-in-post-video/](http://178.239.177.177/image-size-in-post-video/)
 * so i suppose is it possible to increase the image also in a post “standard”,
   
   but probably I’m wrong!:)
 * Thank for you the help and patience,
    Sara Caselli

 * Hi Sara, one of our theme developers took a look at this.
 * The maximum width of an image on the standard post type in Ryu is 696px pixels
   wide, and changing this would require major customization work on the whole theme.
   If that’s something you really needed to do, you might consider hiring a theme
   developer to assist with this work.
 * As an alternative, you could try using a featured image on the post instead, 
   which would allow an image of up to 1128px wide.. The effect would be something
   like this example:
