What format and size should I make my images for my website?

It is important that images uploaded to your website fit the following criteria:

  • File Type: JPEG or PNG*
  • Resolution: 72dpi*
  • Colour Mode: RGB*
  • Optimum Dimensions: The website will generally downsize images on-the-fly. It is important that the images are large enough in the first place as scaling up results in a blurry image.
    • Recommended: 800 pixels tall or wide
    • Minimum: 400 pixels tall or wide
    • Maximum Filesize: 3.5mb
  • Colour Profiles: If uploading a photograph with embedded colour profiles, some browsers will recognise this and display a better image so it's best to include colour profiles.
