Image Upload Recommendations

We don’t provide any limits on file size for the Nudge Overlay backgrounds, but we do have a few recommendations for creating these images that will result in them loading correctly:

• Utilize a 72 DPI resolution for optimal display on various devices.
• Maintain image dimensions of 500px by 331px to prevent unwanted compression.
• Opt for PNG or GIF formats over JPG, PSD, or TIFF for clearer rendering and smaller file sizes.
• Avoid apostrophes in file names to prevent overlay image display issues.
