Image Dimensions Standard

This page defines the consistent image dimensions used throughout the web app for performance and visual consistency.

Standard dimensions by use case

Content images (3:2)

  • Use case: Main content images, blog images, build images
  • Standard: 1200×800

Cropping guidance:

  • Use crop="fill" with gravity="auto" (or aspect_ratio="3:2") to produce standardized exact 3:2 outputs.
  • Use crop="fit" only when preserving the entire image without cropping is desired (this may not produce exact 1200×800 for non-3:2 sources).

Square thumbnails (1:1)

  • Use case: Gallery thumbnails, profile images, icons
  • Standard: 320×320

Card images (3:2)

  • Use case: Update cards, project tiles
  • Standard: 480×320

Build tiles (1:1)

  • Use case: Build list thumbnails
  • Standard: 256×256

Background images (3:2)

  • Use case: Background images in cards
  • Standard: 240×160

Small feed thumbnails (1:1)

  • Use case: Small thumbnails in feeds

Cloudinary optimization notes

  • Prefer Cloudinary automatic optimization (f_auto, q_auto).
  • Use smart cropping with gravity="auto" for square/thumbnail transforms.
