A powerful image can be a great asset to your latest news. This is why our newsrooms contain a media library, allow you to add a media kit, and illustrate your releases with media files such as photos and videos.

To make sure you get the best out of these features, having the right images with the right proportions is key. Whether you'd like to share images on your release or feature them with a social media post linked to your latest campaign, follow these simple size guidelines to make sure they are sized and cropped properly. Another tip is to always use high-resolution JPG or PNG images.


Images in a release

Our campaign editor gives you three sizing options for your images. This works for single images and for gallery images as shown in the example. These sizes can vary depending on the original size of your image.

To select a size, click on the image once you've uploaded it to your release editor and choose from the options in the menu at the top.

If you've any cropping or editing to do, make sure you've finished before uploading to pr.co as our editor doesn't have this function. If you're looking for an editing tool, we like Canva: set up a free account now.
