They are as follows:

  • Logo: At least 256 x 256 px with a transparent background.

  • Email banners: Recommended 1100 x 220 px should have a transparent background, but could have background color and be taller.

  • Cover image: 1280px x 720px

  • Social / post preview image: We recommend at least 1456 x 1048 px, but 420 x 300 px is the minimum. 14:10 is the aspect ratio for the preview images.
