• Use PNG for logos and images with text
• Use transparent PNG for no background
• Maintain aspect ratio when resizing

3. Responsive Design:

• Images automatically resize for different devices
• Seven variations are created: 100px, 300px, 500px, 750px, 1000px, 1500px, 2500px
• Original proportions are preserved
• Device-appropriate version is served automatically

4. Troubleshooting Common Issues:

• Blurry images: Check image width (minimum 1500px recommended)
• Cropping problems: Match image aspect ratio to container
• Color distortion: Verify RGB color mode
• Upload errors: Ensure file is under 20 MB and 120 MP resolution

5. Accessibility Considerations:

• Add descriptive alt text
• Avoid text in images when possible
• Use overlays for text on images
