I wonder if there is a recommend image ratio for the articles.
Is it 16:9 or similar? I notice that some pictures get compressed to a width of 696x?. Would 696×392 be good format for the uploaded pictures?
I understand there are post templates that can be configured to use the pictures almost full page. This is sort of dynamic so I am just wondering how to deal with the whole issue.
Maybe I should upload 1200×675 by default or similar?
Any hints on how to manage this would be greatly appreciated.
I can see that the pictures as show in “flex block 3” and “posts loop” come out a bit different if I don’t adhere to some standard formatting. “flex block 4” seems to be able to use more height and cuts the picture less.
Hello !
Our recommendation for this is to use full hd images: 1980×1080 px or standard resolution that is 800×600.
If you want to use vertical templates, where the height of the image is higher than the width then that is up to how you customize your elements.
I hope this was helpful !
Thank you !
I can see that the “flex block 3” uses two different ratios by default:
218×150 (1.45 ratio)
485×360 (1.347 ratio)
The standard article post use (696×0) so this means it will be stretched/shrunk to 696 and original picture ratio maintained.
The posts loop also says (696×0) but that is not true when you look at the final result. On the screen is is 2×1 (2 ratio) so they are stretched/cut differently to fit the box here.
So all this seems very chaotic to me. I am not sure how to setup the different modules. It looks to be like a 16:9 ratio will work quite well overall since it is somewhere in the middle for for all the module defaults.
Any other input on how to manage the picture gallery and settings for the different pages would be great! I would like to be as close to the optimum for each used picture of course.
Hello !
Depends on the modules you are using. As mentioned above and mentioned by you, a 16:9 Ratio – 1920x1080p will do the job very well. Please note that in flex blocks you can adjust the thumbs in case of any unpleasant crops. If that doesn’t work we can try a css code if you are looking to reach a certain look on your elements.
If you are having any issues on your website send us a link to your website and mention which element is not working as you would like and we can take a look.
Thank you !
