Quick glance at recommended image sizes:
- Logo image files: should be png or jpeg. Size is 540 (width) x 144 (height) px. The maximum files size for logos is 100KB. Simpplr will automatically resize the logo to the maximum height of 40px
- Favicon image: 250x250px size logo/icon, and preferably in png, jpeg or svg format
- Intranet background image: cannot exceed 500KB. Best practice is to make the image around 2000px width by 600-650px high.
- Dashboard image tile: 1086 x 1086px
- Launchpad icons: 220px x 80px
- Content cover image: 1088 x 612px
- Album content image: square 1600x 1600px
- Content body images: 1600 x 1600px. Max file size is 10MB
- Site cover image: 1088px x 171px
- User profile image: 500 x 500px (resized to 200 x 200px)
- Employee Newsletter banner custom image: 800 x 100px (minimum). Note there is no height maximum, and the banner will scale to meet your image's size requirements, but we recommend keeping your image height to around 100px to have a better looking banner.
Compression
In all of the cases below we save the resized/cropped versions in the same format as upload (png, jpeg for example). For jpeg we use 85% quality. If an image goes through the cropping process but remains the same size (i.e. it’s not actually cropped) then we will use the original image. This is important for jpegs because it means we don't add any extra compression artifacts by resaving.

Intranet background images
If you choose to include a background image from the Branding editor, we recommend you not exceed the width of 2000px and height of 650px for the image. Also, the image cannot exceed 500KB.
Carousel images
When three images are shown in the Carousel (using the Showcase layout), we use the Widescreen crop for cover image (16:9) image for the larger panel, and the Square crop for thumbnail version for the smaller panels.
However the panels aren't actually square, they're rectangle, so we crop the sides of the square slightly.
How big is the cropped image?
The actual size of the thumbnail image will depend on the crop you've selected from the original image during content creation. If the image is being displayed at 16:9 then it's exactly the same image. If you do not resize the selection box, the thumbnail will be 500x500px. If that's the case, the cropped version for the Carousel would be 437x500px.

Logo
Simpplr recommends using a .png file format for your company logo. Ask your Marketing team for the right file format, or use any number of free online png converter tools. The maximum file size that can be uploaded is 100KB.
The recommended logo size is 540 (width) x 144 (height) px. Simpplr will automatically resize the logo to the maximum height of 40px.
Employee Newsletter
For a Newsletter banner, the minimum width is 650px. We recommend using an 800 x 100px image. Though there is technically no maximum height, using an image that's too tall isn't the most appealing.
Users can specify the width of an email in the newsletter's theme settings and the images will be scaled to fit automatically. The safest rule is always to make the images the same width as the email (Page width setting) in a landscape/16:9 ratio. The page width and block spacing settings in the theme can affect the image size, the column layout they use and the appearance setting (for the smart blocks).
Max upload file size is 5MB. Simpplr takes the image as given and doesn't do anything to optimize the image; therefore, it’s recommended images are optimized before uploading.
Recognition badges
Recognition badges should be 200 x 200px and should have a transparent background. The maximum file size is 2MB.
