Image Sizes

The ideal size for an image in your course is at 690 pixels wide. Any smaller than this and your image may be stretched to fit the screen. Images larger than this will be condensed to fit. This will be important to note when including images with smaller details as they may become blurry/distorted.

The height of your image is up to you, however keep in mind that users will need to scroll down to get past longer images, especially when on mobile/smaller screened devices.
