Overview
Adding an image page in your course allows you to share visual content alongside optional text. This format is ideal for displaying photos or images that enhance your course content.
📌 Important Note
To ensure high-quality visuals and smooth functionality for your image page, Appical recommends the following:
Supported Formats: Use .JPG, .JPEG, .PNG, or .GIF for optimal compatibility and performance across devices.
Image Dimensions: Aim for a 16:9 aspect ratio. Images with different dimensions may display improperly or require cropping, which can impact visual clarity. Learn more about it in this article: Image aspect ratio.
File Size: Keep images under 2MB. Larger files may result in longer loading times, especially on mobile devices.
Resolution: For best display quality, use images with a minimum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Lower resolutions may appear pixelated, while overly high resolutions can increase file size unnecessarily.
