File Size Optimization (KB)

We recommend keeping your image file size to 300 KB or below to ensure fast loading times.

  1. In Photoshop, go to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy).
    Export_1.jpg

  2. In the export window, select the JPG format.

  3. Click the small menu icon and select Optimize File Size.
    Export_2.jpg

  4. Set your Desired File Size to 300 KB or less.

  5. If the image quality in the preview window is not satisfactory, increase the Quality number until you are happy with how the image looks.

  6. Click Save to save your file.


Pixel Dimensions and Ratio

For best results, we recommend the following image specifications:

  • Image Ratio: A ratio of 3:2.

  • Image Size:

    • For horizontal/landscape images, use 2560×1700 pixels.

    • For vertical/portrait images, use 1700×2560 pixels.

  • Resolution: Export your images at 72 dpi.
