Image Basics to Review
- File Size. Make sure all images are appropriately sized. Think about the page layout, and the position in which you want to see the image. The average web page is about 800 pixels wide, so this is the maximum width you can use.
- File Name. Do not use any spaces or special characters in image file names. Use only alphanumeric characters (A-Z or 1-9) and underscores (_). Using spaces or other characters in the filename may cause the image upload, preview or insert operations to fail.
- Format. The image manager supports JPEG, TIF, BITMAP, GIF, and PNG images, as well as PDF document uploads.
