Tips

  1. Portrait images with no or limited text work best.

  2. Use wide images with text and use tall images for only image cards.

  3. Images at 800 pixel height and 600 pixel width work best.

  4. A wide image will allow more text space below the image for short, well formatted text to fit in the card
