Edit Images
Images should be resized before they are loaded to the site. Posters and png images are often very large files (1 mb+). Large files are slow to load and eat up data if the user is not on wi-fi.
- recommended image sizes:
- post featured image should be a square image for consistency. Recommended dimension 400px x 400px
- images used within the content area can be any dimension with a maximum width of 1000px
- where to edit images:
- Canva.com
- download images as jpg rather than the default png (png files are much larger)
- if creating a square thumbnail image from a poster, select custom size of 400px x 400px, upload the poster, drag the poster into the square and position it in way that looks good. Download as a jpg.
- Online tool – https://ezgif.com/resize/
- upload image/poster
- click crop icon to crop image as desired
- if you only want to resize (not crop) the image, you can set the width dimension to 1000 px.
