Several factors determine how images display effectively on the web:

File Requirements

• Maximum file size: 20 MB (recommended: under 500 KB)
• Optimal width: 2500px for web display
• Minimum width: 1500px to avoid blurriness
• Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF
• Color mode: RGB
• Resolution limit: 120 megapixels

Best Practices for Web Images

• Upload high-quality images at or above maximum display size
• Use PNG format for images containing text or requiring transparency
• Keep page size under 5 MB for faster loading
• Match image aspect ratio to container shape to minimize cropping
• Add alt text for accessibility and SEO

Image Resizing System Automatically creates seven responsive versions at these widths:

• 100 pixels
• 300 pixels
• 500 pixels
• 750 pixels
• 1000 pixels
• 1500 pixels
• 2500 pixels

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Blurry images: Ensure width is over 1500px
• Color distortion: Check color mode is RGB
• Mobile cropping: Use focal points and appropriate aspect ratios
• Upload errors: Verify file meets size and resolution requirements

Tips for Specific Use Cases

• Text overlays: Add as HTML rather than embedded in image
• Transparent backgrounds: Use PNG format
• Galleries: Use consistent image orientations
• Logos: Consider creating with transparent background
• Email campaigns: Follow separate size guidelines

Image Optimization

• Save web-optimized versions under 500 KB
• Maintain original files separately
• Use appropriate compression for image type
• Test display across multiple devices

Following these guidelines ensures optimal image display across all devices while maintaining quality and performance.
