Supported File Formats and Recommended Image Sizes in Showoff – ASP Knowledge Base

When uploading files or images to your Showoff-powered event website, it’s important to know which file types are supported and the recommended image dimensions for optimal display.

1. File Formats for Frontend / Zone / Forms Uploads

The following file types can be uploaded when the field type is set to “File or Image”:

txt, csv, png, gif, jpg, jpeg, svg, eps, rtf, xml, pdf, doc, docx

Important:

Logo fields and other image-specific fields only accept web-viewable image formats.
Ensure images are in a format that can be displayed on the web (e.g., PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF, SVG).

This extensive list covers text, images, video, audio, presentations, spreadsheets, and document formats for flexible content management.

3. Recommended Image Sizes

Because images in Showoff are used in various contexts, there is no one-size-fits-all, but the following guidelines can help:

Maximum width: 1000 pixels.
Maximum height for full-screen images: 900 pixels.
Partial-width images: Scale proportionally to the space they occupy.
- Example: An image occupying half the page width only needs to be 500 pixels wide.

Tip: Use browser tools like Inspect Element to determine the exact size required for a specific area of your site, or contact ASP support for guidance.

By following these supported formats and size guidelines, you ensure that uploaded files and images display correctly, load efficiently, and maintain a professional appearance across your event website.
