The banner photo is a great way to customise the look of your newsletter. Every page has a banner photo so it's great to use a relevant, high-quality photo.

There are 3 width modes for the banner photo: Fixed Width, Full Page and Portrait. Fixed width mode will contain the banner photo in a box on medium and large screens (1200 pixels wide) and on small screens the photo will be the width of the screen. This mode is great for maximising screen real estate. Full page mode will fill the banner photo to the width of the screen on all screen sizes. Portrait mode will display the photo in a portrait shaped box, and is ideal for photos with portrait dimensions. In all 3 modes, the height of the photo can be customised by dragging the bottom edge up and down.

Some organisations prefer to use the banner photo area as a place to put their branding. If you wish to do so, you'll want to create images that are greater than 1200 pixels wide and greater than 300 pixels tall. In fixed width mode the banner photo will be exactly 1200 pixels wide, so this is an ideal width for creating your brand images. Banner photos have a minimum height of 300 pixels, so anything taller than this will work.

Upload photos in the highest quality you have and iNewsletter will automatically compress the photo and optimise it for web delivery.

Research shows that we like looking at photos of other people. A great way to maximise the readership of your newsletter is to include photos of real people.

Low quality photos do not work well. Because the photo is displayed in a large box, low quality photos will be stretched and may appear pixelated or blurry. With iNewsletter, you can upload photos at any size and the photo will automatically be compressed to the best size.
