Images best practices

The Images Library provides a collection of company-approved images, which can be accessed from within Office applications. This article explains best practices when using Images in Templafy.

Images Library

The Image Library is used to insert images within documents. Examples are:

  • General: corporate images, logos.
  • Specific images: company images, industry-specific images, customer logos, staff headshots.

File types and settings

Templafy supports the following file types:

  • jpg (bitmap).
  • jpeg (bitmap).
  • png (bitmap).
  • svg (vector-based).
  •  

  Note

Using a gif (bitmap) file type is not recommended as it might cause unexpected behavior in some situations.


Recommended settings are:

  • jpg file type.
  • RGB color type.
  • 150 dpi resolution.
  • Maximum file size 200 kB.

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.
  • Web Add-ins: Bitmap and vector-based images are supported.

Use tags

When uploading to Templafy, it is recommended to tag the images, to enhance the results for the end-user when using the search.
