With an image at 50%, up to 50 characters fit comfortably on the front of the card without scrolling.
Learners can hover over the text and scroll to view all text on a card.
Activity image best practice:
2:3 Image Aspect Ratio work best for an image only card.
4:3 Image Aspect Ratio work best for an image with text (50% image, 50% text).
Minimum 179 pixel width x134 height pixel.
A 2:3 ratio means that an image’s width is 2 units and the height is 3 units.
A 4:3 ratio mean that an image’s width of is 4 units and a height of 3 units.
A unit can be inches, lines, or pixels
There are several free image editors available to adjust the image aspect ratio.
To maintain image quality, crop the image dimensions using any 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.
