# Textures/Power of two

## Texture Image Sizing <a href="#texture-image-sizing" id="texture-image-sizing"></a>

If you've already tried modding clothing or props before, you might have been told to make sure your textures follow the 'Power of 2' rule. This is a game design concept that expands beyond just GTA, and it's something that is important for you to understand as you mod because otherwise you can run into issues in-game with how your textures display.

There are plenty of people who have explained this better than I could already, so instead I will recommend for you to read this article: <https://www.katsbits.com/tutorials/textures/make-better-textures-correct-size-and-power-of-two.php>

and I'll leave a quote from the article here:

In short it's a set of simple criteria ensuring 2D image assets conform to regulated sizes and dimensions, which typically manifest as; 1) width/height being divisible by "**8**", and/or 2) width/height that can be doubled-up or divided-down by "**2**". In other words any image that is "**8**", "**16**", "**32**", "**64**", "**128**", "**256**", "**512**", "**1024**", "**2048**" (or higher for more modern games) pixels in one or more width/height direction, is considered ***valid*** and properly ***optimised*** for quick loading into a game and processing into memory.

In other words, all of your textures should be "power of 2" in both width and height, although the image does NOT have to be a square. So you can have 1024x128 or 512x256 and so on.
