FAQs
Q. What are the recommended file sizes and resolutions?
A. See the end of the Media Manager article here.
Q. Can I resize images?
A. You can crop an image before uploading or after uploading. If you've already uploaded the image, find the image in your Media Manager and select Details, then Edit Image. After editing, reinsert the edited image into the step. See more about using the Media Manager here.
Q. How do I move one of my annotations?
A. You'll need to delete the existing one and create a new one where you want it.
Q. Are images compressed or otherwise optimized for faster loading?
A. We do not compress images uploaded to image Blocks, but the following may happen to an image uploaded anywhere in the Blocks media manager:
We limit image dimensions to 2000 x 2000.
We limit image (storage) size to 100mb per image.
Certain block types (ex: image with text, etc.) will restrict image size based on their particular layout.
To summarize, we don't automatically compress your images, but we do have some limitations in place to optimize load time.
