Saving + best practices β
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.
