The images you upload to a news post is one of the primary ways in which you can attract users to a post and make it engaging. The following guidelines will help you ensure optimal visual effect for images you upload to a news post in all three channel types, namely, article channels, media channels, and update channels.

• Optimal image size:1900 x 1069 pixels
• Optimal aspect ratio: 16:9 
• Maximum image file size: 25 MB 

What happens if the uploaded image is smaller in size than the recommended image size? 

If the image does not match the recommended size, the image is automatically zoomed to the optimal size, which can result in reduced quality.

What happens if the uploaded image does not have the recommended aspect ratio?

If the aspect ratio does not match, the image is automatically zoomed to a 16:9 aspect ratio, and parts of the image might be cropped, or a blurry background might be displayed on the right and left sides. When opened in full-screen mode, the image is displayed in its original aspect ratio. 

How does cropping an image affect the resulting image?

An image cropped in the editor may be displayed with a blurry background depending on its aspect ratio.
