Using the image sizes below will ensure that your pictures are not cropped or resized incorrectly by WordPress. When uploading images:
- Upload a jpg image, or PNG with a white background. Transparent images do not look good inside the bounding boxes that most image blocks produce.
- Use a Landscape orientation, not square or portrait, for Rotating Banner and other image types that are wide by long.
- Use the aspect ratio guide to crop images appropriately.
- Don’t upload images that are smaller than the recommended sizes below, they will look blurry when resized.
