Saving + best practices ⭐

We recommend using these tips to avoid seeing distortion, pixelation, or slight color changes in your logos and images:

  • Avoid transparent backgrounds (except for logos)

  • Avoid overly large dimensions for images. If the image needs to be resized by Givebutter or a social platform where your campaign is shared, it could impact the quality of the image.

  • Ensure images and logos are saved in RGB color mode before uploading. (CMYK color is used for print media, and colors may not appear accurate if a CMYK image is uploaded.
