Image proportions usually matter more than exact dimensions. Follow these general recommendations:

  • Small images (logos, avatars, etc.)
    Use square images with a 1:1 aspect ratio (for example, 100 × 100 px, 250 × 250 px, etc).
  • Images displayed in their original proportions
    This applies to widgets such as Portfolio, Photo Gallery, Slider, etc. Use 1920 × 1080 px images (Full HD) for the best balance between quality and performance. Maximum recommended resolution: 2560 × 1440 px (Quad HD).
  • Mobile devices
    Elfsight widgets adapt images to different screen sizes, but the original file size remains unchanged. For better mobile performance, consider using lower-resolution images.
  • File size
    Keep images under 1 MB whenever possible. Smaller files help your website load faster and improve user experience. Maximum upload size: 100 MB.
To optimize images for faster loading, you can use image compression tools like Kraken.io, Squoosh.app, or ImageCompressor.com.
