Resize Rise Images
Mar 17, 2020
Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way to resize images in Rise? I am using a lot of the Labelled Graphics and Images in my course and I have received feedback that the images are huge which causes a lot of scrolling. I am currently taking screenshots of a cellphone screen for the photos, and they are ending up being very long.
I have tried to look up other discussions but haven't had much help on sizing. I am creating lots of graphics in Canva for Rise as well and would love to know the suggested size dimensions I should be using for different types.
Any help is super appreciated!

Hi Shelbey! Would it be possible for you to share an example of either what image you're trying to use or what the labeled graphic output looks like in Rise? That will help us come up with some ideas that might solve this issue for you!
I did see a post about making images 10x10, which has helped a bit. Here is a screenshot of an example with the phone screenshot and text beside. As you can see it does not even fit in the screen for my browser. I was wondering if I could change the size of this photo to make it fit better?
Thank you!
Hi Shelbey!
It looks like you're using an Image & Text block, is that right?
If so, the image shouldn't be cropped by the image container. Do you notice a difference if you adjust the image size setting?
Thanks for including your image! Is that text part of a text block above the screenshot? If not, maybe consider that as well. I did a quick Peek for you on an way you can change the size of your photo so it's not as big in the labeled graphic:

Thank you so much both of you!! I started playing with the sizes of my images and adding margins as well as decreasing the Image Size in the Text + Image blocks.
Thank you for your time and help!

Hi Shelby,
Following on this conversation. I can't see the settings; Image Position or Image Size within my settings menu. Any ideas?
Hi there, Tony!
The Image Size and Image Position options are on the Image and Text block type.
Which image block type are you using?
Good morning. I'm using the 'Image' only block and my photos are all different sizes. I too cannot find how I can make all my images the same size. Please advise. Thanks
Hi Deborah! You'll want to resize your images to the same size using a third-party image editing tool before inserting them in your Rise lesson. If you don't have an image editing tool, you can even use PowerPoint to resize your images!
Thank Alyssa. I'll have a go :-)
Hi, Alyssa!
I am having similar problems with the labeled graphic widget and images becoming super large. Three of us have tried resizing the images in Photoshop, PowerPoint, and one other tool that I can't remember at the moment. None of this is working. What are we doing wrong? Thank you, for your help!
Hi,
For a labeled graphic, create your image in a 16:9 ratio.
Depending on your image, you may need to add white space to achieve this.
Hi Karl
Many thanks for the information.
regards
For anyone who may be struggling with an image that is too "zoomed out", try inserting the image as a "Labeled Graphic" (with no markers) rather than using any of the image blocks. I had to insert an infographic that was quite long, and tried inserting it using all of the "Image" blocks and none of them worked. Now that I've inserted it using the Labeled Graphic block, the size is perfect and can even be adjusted to prevent pixelization.
