Recommendations
In order to get good results with your images and solve possible import problems, follow the suggestions below:
- The name of the image files should not contain spaces. If necessary, we recommend that the characters be hyphenated.
- Do not use special characters in the image names. Follow an alphanumeric pattern.
- The recommended file extension is .JPG (not .JPEG).
- We recommend that your images have a white background.
- The format of the images should preferably be square, to avoid distortions.
- For image zooming to work correctly, we recommend that the images have a size of at least 1000 pixels. If possible, you can achieve an even better zoom result with images from 1500 to 2000 pixels.
- We do not recommend stretching the image so it does not affect its quality.
