Bloom normally down-samples **incoming** images to 3500 x 2550 (landscape) or 2550 x 3500 (portrait). These maxes were chosen to fit A4 paper at 300dpi. This was done to avoid the situation we were seeing where less-technical users were getting gigantic images into Bloom and then having memory problems.

When you make a book using any of the above Bloom-approved methods for making books, the Bloom Editor will generate a unique number and assign that number to your book.

Bloom pages can embed little custom HTML5 activities called “widgets”. When published as a BloomPUB, these widgets will work on the web, Bloom Reader, and RAB Apps. You can see examples of widgets in [these interactive books](https://bloomlibrary.org/activities/books-with-widgets) in the Bloom Library.

You can see examples of widgets in [these interactive books](https://bloomlibrary.org/activities/books-with-widgets) in the Bloom Library.


Many of these widgets already exist on the web, because they work with Apple's iBooks and other software. You can also make your own using programs like [Active Presenter](https://atomisystems.com/activepresenter/). Most widgets don’t have any custom programming, but if software like Active Presenter is not sufficient for what you need, you can hire a web developer to do something even more advanced.

:::note

Bloom 5.4 is the final version of Bloom available on Linux in either a flatpak or debian package for the foreseeable future. The Bloom team is working to convert all of the Bloom user interface to a web-based system. Once that is achieved, we hope to be able to offer a cross-platform Bloom for Linux and MacOS as well as Windows. We do not have a time-table for when that will happen.

## Installing Bloom on Newer Linux Systems (Ubuntu 22.04 and later) {#0a0e555f3b51439686a086c6f0c97bf1}


Bloom 5.4 is available as a [flatpak package](https://flathub.org/apps/org.sil.Bloom) which will run on newer versions of Ubuntu and Wasta Linux, and probably other Linux distributions also. (The debian packages will not work on these newer releases of Linux because the system libraries are no longer compatible with some of the older software libraries used inside Bloom.)

- Book history does not work in Team Collections on Linux in general, including flatpak.
- Checking ePUB accessibility by ACE by Daisy does not work. At this point, there are no plans to try to get this working. It should be possible to save an ePUB from Bloom and check that file separately with the ACE by Daisy program outside of Bloom.
