Worked example

Designing a blog template before the photos are ready? Create 1200 × 630 grey placeholders labelled “Hero image” so the layout looks realistic.

Which format should I choose?

SVG is tiny and scales perfectly for mockups. PNG, JPG or WEBP work where a bitmap is required.

Is there a size limit?

Images can be up to 5000 × 5000 pixels.
