Image Dimensions
Your Feature Image
- The best size for your Feature image is 1200 pixels wide x 400 pixels high – that is a ratio of 3:1
- Images uploaded outside of those dimensions will be cropped and/or resized to fit.
Images of you and your work
- You can include up to 10 photos in your online gallery
- We recommend including a profile photo of you as one of those 10 photos
- Recommended maximum width or height is 1200 pixels
- Recommended minimum width or height is 300 pixels
Resizing your image
If you have access to Adobe Photoshop (or a friend with Photoshop), it provides the best control over image cropping and resizing. This link will take you to a Photoshop tutorial page on Adobe’s website with some great getting-started resources.
If you don’t have that access, there are a few different options available. Have a look at the tabs below, look at the online resources or see what apps are available for free Mac and Windows operating systems.

The standard Preview app on a MAC can be used to resize an image.
- Open the image in preview
- Use Tools > Adjust Size to change the image dimensions, changing the width and height. Make sure you are using pixels and not cm as the measurement
- Adjust the Resolution in this same window to reduce the file size of your image. Don’t go below 72 pixels/inch.
- Play with dimensions and quality until you get the right file size and image size.
