Image Dimensions
Each time you upload an image, the system creates multiple copies of those images. Each type of image has a different set of rules determining how many copies the system makes and the dimensions of those images. Different image types require different minimum sizes for their display. This chart will help you select images that meet the recommended size requirements and provide guidance on how to use them.
