Featured Image Best Practices | Communifire Documentation

Featured images appear on content, in the Activity Stream, on content homepages, and in content list widgets. 

Our recommended sizes for featured images and album covers are:

• Suggested aspect ratio: 4:3
• Suggested dimensions: 1200x900
• Suggested file size: 300KB

You can use the following tools to compress image files without significant quality loss:

• TinyJPG
• TinyPNG 

How to Add a Stock Album for Featured Images

You can make certain albums available to everyone for use when adding featured images to content. You can upload stock images to an album in a space, then make the album available to everyone to select featured images from. Make it easy and painless for your content creators to add beautiful images to content.

1. Open the album.
2. In the URL, copy the album ID. This is the second number in the URL. (e.g. in the URL https://documentation.communifire.com/spaces/252/human-resources/album/6793/admin/hr-conference, 6793 is the album ID.)
3. Click the gear icon > Control Panel > System > General Settings > Advanced Settings.
4. In Stock photo albums (csv), enter the album ID. Separate multiple IDs with commas. (e.g. 6793,284,2929)
5. Click Save System Settings.

Once settings are saved, the stock albums will appear in the Choose from albums tab when adding a featured image to content.
