Image size and resolutions for site customization (2.1)

Last Updated On

For all images, you need to balance quality (dimensions and resolution) with file size. Ideally, upload the highest resolution files that don’t have a negative impact on page load times – this will vary, you may need to use lower resolution files if your users are having trouble loading pages or images. 72 and 150 dpi/ppi are common resolutions for web.

Unless stated otherwise, proportions (eg: 1:1, 4:3) are fixed, but dimensions (eg: 800x600px) are recommendations.
