We are hiring an illustrator for a project which will have components in both Storyline and Rise 360. We want to use those images in both products. While experimenting I uploaded a stock image into the banner section in Rise 360 and it is blurry. I need to know what image size and what type of file we need the illustrator to convert our images to so they work best in both platforms. Are there resolution and pixel dimensions that work best? I read that .png files are preferred to jpeg, is this true?
Hi there, Trish. Here is our general guidance on working with media in Rise 360. Larger, high resolution images work best. For full width blocks and cover photos, images will dynamically be cropped to fit the size of the screen. Using a 16x9 ratio for full width images in Rise will give you the best results.
In Storyline, you'll want to use larger, high resolution images that won't need to stretch to fill the largest screen your learners will likely use.
Thank you, I found the "working with media in Rise 360" article, but
it doesn't answer my question.
If I am submitting a Standard of Work to an artist, how do I define the
"larger, high resolution images" in a more specific format? Is there a
pixel number I should ask for? Or does "high resolution" give a definite
answer of images that will work in Rise and be able to be scaled to work as
banner images as well as slide images in Storyline?
Usually I work with stock images, working with an illustrator is new to me
and I need to communicate exactly what I need to assure I get the right
product.
It's best to use images that won't need to be "scaled up" to fill the width of the browser. I would say an image that is at least 1,500 pixels wide will look beautiful in Rise 360. As an example, all of the stock images in this Rise 360 sample course are 1,680 pixels wide.

Hi Tricia!
It's best to use images that won't need to be "scaled up" to fill the width of the browser. I would say an image that is at least 1,500 pixels wide will look beautiful in Rise 360. As an example, all of the stock images in this Rise 360 sample course are 1,680 pixels wide.
Does that help?
Yes, this is what I needed. Thank you very much
Tricia
Glad I could help, Tricia!
