What are the file type and size limitations for uploaded photos?

Although we don’t have a limit, per se, we suggest image files be well under 10MB.
Even 10MB is quite large for a photo; keep in mind that larger photos will take longer to load on your page, so we recommend being mindful of size.
We don’t limit the file format of uploaded files – that limitation is determined by your browser, as indicated in the below chart.
