Aspect ratios for Images / Best Sizes

I know make does some internal resizing, but what size images do you guys mostly use that works best?

I use 4:3, and I never provide a mobile-specific image.

4032x3024 - because my phone camera photos come out as that, so I maintain it.

My animated GIFs are 600x450.

For MW website: 1024 x 768 px. If using Canva, this is Presentation (4:3)
For Handy app: 768 x 1024 px

I also use 4:3 - my camera outputs at 4000x3008 and these have worked perfectly for MW

Does loading large such image effect much? i know nice to get large picture when viewing.

ty, do you load different image for handy app?

I think MW scales down large files when loading. But I havent found definitive info on this. I always edited my photo anyway, that’s when I resize it to what I specify above. I believe for photos on a web page or phone screen, these sizes are sufficient.

For newer uploads, I do try to take a separate photo in the 3:4 ratio and resize it to 768x1024 px for the Handy app. I use iphone camera so this simply means holding the phone in its usual vertical orientaion and take the photo in 4:3.

For older photos, I tried to adjust them into 4:3 and 3:4 for the web and the Handy app respectively, but it doesn’t always work well.

It hasn’t for me.

Some of my models have 20 images and some with multiple animated GIFs, each between 15mb and 30mb.

It depends on the framing you want. Take pictures and crop accordingly. Set your aspect ratio for what will give you the best framing after the crop (if you choose to crop it).
