Images throughout my Rise 360 course look great — except for the Cover Image. With that image, formerly high-resolution images now look low-resolution and a bit blurry, and they have pixelation type artifacts around each image. (I have a 34-inch monitor I'm viewing fullscreen.)
In the attached Rise 360 course, I've tried saving the cover image as a JPEG at 80 percent, 90 percent, and 100 percent, and PNGs of various sizes. I've tried images from 1980 pixels wide to more than 5000 pixels wide. They all look like the attached file.
I'm glad the GIF solved the issue! I also wanted to mention that you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis by adding _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your image file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind that the 5GB file size limit still applies, and you could see an increase in your output file size.

My group found that using GIFs sometimes gives better performance in Rise for clarity. However, we never tested the cover image.
Wow, thanks Diane! The GIF did the trick. The picture looks significantly better.
I do hope Articulate figures out what's going on with JPEG's and PNGs, though.
I'm glad that worked. I suspect is has something to do with how they compress the files. Best of luck with your project.
Thank you!

The _NOPROCESS_ trick works wonderfully on JPEGs. Thanks, Alyssa!
Using GIF made a huge difference. Thanks!
