I know what our best practices are for the featured article images but am wondering if there’s a recommended aspect ratio or maximum width for embedded/in article images. 

We are wanting to publish an infographic that tallies community stats for the year (so fun!) but our outside design agency is needing more guidance on best practices for designing embedded graphics. 

Maybe just the article width so we can better anticipate/manage compression? Thanks so much if anyone has found that magic ratio for me to add to our creative brief template!

Hi ​@Kait_Masters - I think our platform is quite flexible when adding images into articles.  Larger images will adjust automatically (and you can quickly drag/drop to adjust size in the editor when needed). What I would recommend to do every now and then is to check how the images are being rendered on various screen sizes using the browser inspection tool.  If you want a specific best practice to have documented then the article width (which will then be the max. width on any screen size) sounds sensible.

The images will auto resize in an article and you can drag the bottom left corner to resize visually so you can use the max image size (the article feature image) 1440.
