Image sizes on the forms will often stretch or shrink as needed, but it is recommended to have any image in your form be least a width of 476 pixels or more, so that other sites that may share image from your forms, like Facebook, will display them properly.
Your best strategy is to use the exact sizes below, or larger.
The best option for images is to use the exact size that will be displayed. If your image is larger, then it will show compressed and be not quite as clear. But shrinking the size usually doesn’t degrade the image quality that much. On the other hand, using a smaller image will stretch out the image and generally look much worse than a larger image shrunk.
Image Requirements:
- Images must be in JPG or PNG format.
- Images must be in RGB format, not CMKY or any other format.
- It is recommended to have 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch). Higher resolutions, such as 300ppi may or may not work because the file size becomes too large. When they do work, they will frequently cause the form to load slower, so aim for 72ppi. Less that 72ppi may make the image fuzzy.

Image Specifications - Activity Landing Page
The Image sizes listed for the Activity Landing Page are the minimum recommended sizes. These images are specific to the Activity Landing Page itself. For the various activities to be included through the links and buttons on the Activity Landing Page, use the information above.
Image Name | Dimension(s) | Ratio | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Logo | Recommended: 150 x 150 | 1:1 |
| The log can really be any dimensions but a square image will allow for a cleaner look. Depending on its location its actual size will be different. It is recommended to have a transparent background. |
| Image Hero Media Carousel | Recommended: 1920 x 1080 | Approx. 5:4 |
| The image will fill the screen when the viewer first goes to the event page so the actual size will adjust to the viewer's screen size. |
| Image Hero Event Logo | Recommended: 400 x 250 | Approx. 5:4 |
| If you include a logo/image on the Hero section, it will display at a maximum of 400px wide by 250px tall and will resize either direction if one of the maximums is reached. |
| Event Details Background Media Carousel | Recommended: 500 x 500 | 1:1 |
| The Event Details background adjusts to the amount of information presented in the section, so if you use a centered format with a lot of text, the 1:1 ratio should work. If you use a left Justified format with very little text, then the image will automatically be cropped to fit the width of the display. |
| Impact Section Card | Recommended: 625 x 400 | Approx. 6:4 |
| The image can really be any size depending on the style of images you want for the cards. It is recommended, though, that you have around the same size for all the cards in a row. There can be a maximum of four cards per impact section, but you can create multiple sections |
| Sponsor or Grid Images Media Carousel | Recommended 300 x 300 | 1:1 |
| The image can really be any size depending on the style of images you want for the section. There is a maximum of four images across the Sponsor / Grid section; adding more will wrap to a new line. |
