While there isn't a specific "correct" size for all images in press releases or newswires, these guidelines will help ensure your images are displayed properly and your release is delivered successfully:
- For newswire releases, the total size of all attachments and your company's logo should not exceed 1.4MB. For logos, the recommended dimensions are 400x400 pixels with a white background.
- For press releases, we recommend using images with an aspect ratio of 16:9. A good size for high-quality results would be approximately 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels high. This ensures your images look sharp and professional, especially when used in presentations or other exports.
- For email press releases, it's important to maintain a text-to-image ratio of 80% text and 20% images to avoid being blocked by spam filters.
- Keep in mind that images in emails are not displayed until a recipient allows them to load. Therefore, ensure all important information is in the text.
