Best practices
Image compression
If images are uploaded in larger sizes, they are automatically optimized for Office use when inserted via Templafy Add-ins if the image is larger than 1 MB. Images are compressed to avoid file sizes becoming extremely large, whilst maintaining the quality, meaning that images are shown on a presentation screen in high definition still look great.
Images are compressed to below 2000 x 2000 pixels, and less than 200 kB in size.
Image support per application
- Web App: Bitmap and vector-based images are supported.
- VSTO Add-in in Office 2016 and higher: Bitmap and vector-based images are supported.

Use tags
