Sizing images properly can be a pain and we've worked hard to eliminate that pain wherever possible. In this article, we'll break down the several pages in our app where images can be uploaded.
Covers
Covers have the most restrictive requirements around image dimensions. On the standard cover.
The "Main Image" should ideally be square and at least 500px by 500px
The "Background Image" should ideally be at least 640px wide by 920px tall. If you choose a photo, our editor will do its best with whatever size you give it. Here is some more information on standard covers
When uploading a Custom Cover, the image must be precisely 640 pixels wide by 920 pixels tall. Here is some more info on custom covers
Rich Text Pages
Images uploaded to rich text pages (including the description section of Schedule items and bios in People) can be any size you need it to be. We dynamically resize them when they are displayed to look the best on the screen while using the least amount of bandwidth. Ideally, your images are at least 500px wide
People
People images, like images uploaded to rich text pages, can be whatever you want. We provide tools in our editor to choose the square crop that the image will be displayed as. Ideally, your images are at least 500px wide
Sponsors
Our sponsor page is designed to work well with logo images. Ideally, you will get logos on a white background of at least 500px wide, but again our editor will do its best to make your app look great.
