Two options are available for displaying an image on top of the project page:
- A full-width background image that appears behind the title and acronym field.
- An image at regular text width that is displayed below the title, introduction and duration.
For option 1, you should check "Use as background image at the top of the page" in the editor interface.
The recommended size for images used as a header image at the top of the page is 1395x514 pixels (279:103 aspect ratio). On mobile, the image is cropped to a 4:3 aspect ratio, so the main subject should be located near the center of the image.
If the image is to be displayed below the introduction, the recommended size is 1000x562 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio).
