When using images on your site, please think about where you will be using the image and what size the image needs to be in order to fit the space properly. For example, a hero image requires a slightly wider image compared to a biography or news article. Please also keep in mind any accessibility recommendations for images before uploading an image to the website.
Acceptable Image Types
Images can be .jpegs or .pngs, but do not upload .gifs or any sort of video to the Media Library. .gifs are typically inaccessible forms of media, as users don’t have the ability to stop the animation.
