Images are often the first element a guest notices when browsing venues, snaps, or events. A well-chosen photo can set the tone, highlight atmosphere, and build anticipation. To help venues showcase their best side, these are the recommended image dimensions, formats, and practices.
Why Image Size Matters
Correct sizing ensures that images load quickly, appear crisp on every device, and maintain their proportions without distortion. When dimensions are consistent, snaps and events look professional, while venue pages gain a polished identity.
💡 Tip: Always preview images on both desktop and mobile to ensure they scale properly before publishing.
Snaps
Snaps are designed to be quick, eye-catching highlights.
- Recommended size: 300 x 300 pixels
- Minimum size: 60 x 60 pixels for thumbnails (though 300 x 300 is preferred for clarity)
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (perfect square)
- Maximum images: 3 per snap
💡 Tip: Use bright, uncluttered images for snaps. Simple visuals are more effective than complex designs when displayed in smaller formats.
Events
Event banners are best presented in horizontal layouts that suit announcements and promotional graphics.
- Recommended size: 300 x 180 pixels up to 300 x 150 pixels
- Aspect ratio: 5:3 or 2:1 (landscape)
- Maximum images: 3 per event
💡 Tip: Add text sparingly. Event images look cleaner when the design is not overloaded with information.
Venue Images
Venue galleries benefit from wide-format images that capture atmosphere and detail.
- Recommended size: 800 x 300 pixels for web, 320 x 200 pixels for mobile
- Aspect ratio: At least 3:2 (landscape), with wider images preferred for web hero banners
- Maximum images: 10 per venue
💡 Tip: Use at least one wide-angle shot for the hero image. This gives guests an immediate sense of the venue’s ambiance.
Best Practices for All Images
To maintain consistency and performance:
- Keep images under 1MB for faster uploads and quicker browsing.
- Save in PNG or JPEG format for the best mix of quality and compression.
- For animated visuals, GIFs are supported but remain uncompressed.
💡 Tip: Prioritize JPEGs for photos, as they compress well without visible loss of quality.
Quick Reference Table
| Type | Recommended Size (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max Images | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snap | 300 × 300 | 1:1 (Square) | 3 | Thumbnails can be as small as 60 × 60 |
| Event | 300 × 180, 300 × 150 | 5:3, 2:1 | 3 | Use landscape for best display |
| Venue | 800 × 300 (web), 320 × 200 (mobile) | ≥ 3:2 (Landscape) | 10 | Hero images should be wide landscapes |
