ADVANCED TOOL
Create & Use Your Own
Feature Image


For those who are familiar with photo editors and who didn't see a pre-made image that feels right, this is your chance to create an image that you want.


MOST IMPORTANT POINTS:

  • The image you choose needs to be a high-resolution photo that you can CROP DOWN (or slightly up) to 2400 wide by 1200 tall. Video shows how to crop it perfectly.


  • The above-outlined crop size is important so that your image will resize for different devices and screen sizes.


  • You are responsible for only using images that you either own the copyrights to (meaning you created it) or it is a "free source" image that you have the authorization to use. For example, you can get free stock images on PicMonkey, FreePik, and other sources including paid sites, like AdobeStock. However, Google images are usually copyrighted.


  • If your image is too small, when you try to make it 2400 wide or 1200 tall it will distort the image badly and will look bad on your site. So you are best to reduce it to that size when resizing or cropping. 


  • This image location is a DYNAMIC image that resizes for all screen sizes. If you add writing to an image, you should center that writing (vertically & horizontally) to ensure it looks right on a computer.

    Once your image is cropped to size, you're ready to upload it.

1. Login to your Essenty back office.

d) Once it uploads, select it by hovering over it and click INSERT.

Your background is immediately changed for you.
