The aspect ratio of each image is automatically retrieved from the File metadata. You can override the native width and height values by Examining the individual image pages to obtain the full resolution. For example: File:Donkey 1 arp 750px.jpg shows "Donkey_1_arp_750px.jpg (750 × 536 pixels, file size: 125 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)"
Specifying a size does not just change the apparent image size using HTML; it actually generates a resized version of the image on the fly and links to it appropriately. This happens whether or not you specify the size in conjunction with "thumb". This means the server does all the work of changing the image size, not the web browser of the user.
If perrow is omitted, the width is fluid: one row comprises as many images as will fit across the available width of the user's display, wrapping automatically to as many additional lines as needed. Omitting perrow is now the recommended default. Prior to MediaWiki 1.17, the default was perrow=4. The default width and height are currently 120px.
Since the proportions of File:Flag of Scotland.svg are 5×3, specifying a width of 120px generates a 120×72px image, and specifying a height of 60px generates a 100×60px image, so a size field of 120x60px generates the smaller of the two, namely, the 100×60px image:
Image using width upright=1.8, so that it is 80% wider than the Siberian Husky image above (which is at the default upright=1 width) Image using upright=0.5; a scaling factor less than 1 contracts the image width. An image's size is controlled by changing its width – after which software automatically adjusts height in proportion.
If your caption is longer than a few words, you may need to explicitly set the div width. Some browsers adjust the width of the div based on the width of the text, and if there is a large caption, the div may become too large. To solve this problem, simply set the width of the div to the width (in pixels) of the image, like so:

Size to display image: 200px (set width), x300px (set height), or 200x300px (max width & max height). If empty or omitted, this defaults to frameless (default is 220px, but logged-in users can change this by clicking on "my preferences" and adjusting thumbnail size). Use of this parameter is discouraged. Use image_upright instead.
