There are a number of ways to personalize and brand your EventCreate site with images, including your event website, email, and social share images. Below are suggested image specs for the most commonly updated images on EventCreate.

You can upload any JPEG, JPG, PNG or GIF file to your site. To optimize load time, we recommend your file to be 2MB max. Any image files over this size will slow down your website.

We recommend:

  • Banner / hero image - 1600x1000px

    • The banner doesn't have a fixed aspect ratio. If you'd like the image to be fixed, please set the banner as a standard image.

  • Logo - 250 x 100px (rectangle) OR 100x100px (square)

  • Registration page header - 1600x400px

  • Email logo - 300x400px or 400x400px

  • Email main image - 1000px wide

  • Social share image - 1200x630px

  • Favicon - 16x16 px, PNG or ICO only

  • Calendar event thumbnail - 1200x630px

EDITING TOOLS:

If you need to edit the image, go to the Website Editor and click on the image. Then, select Edit Image to crop, rotate, and stylize the image directly in the editor.

πŸ“± Mobile Optimization Tips

  • If using a background image, choose one that’s simple and has the main subject in the center

  • Always preview on mobile to check how your images look on smaller screens

Network Error?

Typically, when you can't upload image files, it's a firewall issue with your company's browser. Please try uploading the image from a different device or turning off your VPN.
