To maintain the best image quality, re-size and then crop images to the recommended pixel dimensions using an image editor (ex. Paint/Paintbrush). If an image is re-sized but not cropped to match pixel dimensions, the image may be stretched or squeezed to fit which can degrade the image quality. |

107px-width x 156px-height without a text label

Tips |
Portrait images with no or limited text work best.
Use wide images with text and use tall images for only image cards.
A wide image will allow more text space below the image for short, well formatted text to fit in the card
