What is a Hero Photo?

...

Hero photos must be carefully composed and cropped to work well on both desktop and mobile devices.

  • A Hero Photo must be at least 1600 pixels wide by 900 pixels tall. To ensure flexibility in cropping, we recommend that the source photo be 2000-2500 pixels wide. 

  • The middle 1/3 of a hero photo must contain the relevant action and be the focus of the photo subject.

  • Anything outside of that middle 1/3rd will be cut off when the web page is displayed on smaller screens. See examples, below.

    Focus on action in the middle third of the photo.
