Files

This article covers adding and using files, file-related parameters, and managing or expanding file storage.

Things to know before starting

  • Provision of a default storage capacity of up to 200 MB for file uploads via computer or URL.
  • Optimization of images to maintain quality and ensure successful uploads.
  • Adjustment of image dimensions to fit the standard template width of 600 pixels.
  • Use JPG, GIF, or PNG formats for maximum compatibility; PNG is recommended for transparency.
  • Adherence to file size recommendations of under 1 MB for optimal performance, with a maximum limit of 5 MB.
  • Availability of additional storage space for purchase as required.
  • Processing of additional storage charges at the time of purchase is synchronized with the current subscription period.
  • Non-refundable nature of storage purchases regardless of subsequent space reduction or add-on cancellation.
  • Storage payments are synchronized with the current subscription cycle.
  • Image requirements

    • Header Image - strictly 600 pixels in width with a recommended height of less than 200 pixels for full display in preview panes; incorrect widths may cause image distortion or layout stretching.
    • One-column Template - automatic height with a width of 600 pixels or less.
    • Two-column Template - automatic height with a width of 250 pixels or less.
    • Three-column Template - automatic height with a width of 150 pixels or less.
    • Event Landing Page - recommended dimensions of 150 pixels in height and 800 pixels in width.
    • Event Registration Page - recommended dimensions of 150 pixels in height and 800 pixels in width.
  • File type

    • PNG - ideal for all image types due to superior quality and full transparency support; highly effective for text and correcting distortions, though results in larger file sizes and remains uncompressed during upload.
    • JPG - suitable for photographs due to its small file size; however, this format does not support transparency, uses compression during upload, and may cause distortion or poor rendering of text-heavy content.
    • GIF - best for logos, simple graphics, and low-resolution images; provides small file sizes and basic transparency support without upload compression, but is limited to 256 colors and may appear grainy if web-unsafe colors are used.
