Extensions
| PNG | Should be used for simple graphics where high contrast is present, eg. screenshots. |
| JPG | Should be used for photography. |
| GIF | Should be used for motion, rarely required for guides. |
Width
Make the image as narrow as possible, 300px is the goal width, 600px is still good, anything bigger will become unreadable on mobile.
Tricks that can be used to achieve this:
Make sure browser zoom is set to 100%, this makes screenshots consistent across guides.
Image name
The file name should be SEO friendly, for example, "microkeeper-login-page.png"
Only use lower case and dashed, nothing else.
Formatting
After an image is uploaded:
Assign the ALT attribute, this should be SEO friendly, describe the image, eg. How to edit the Alternative Text field on a image:
Make image left aligned.
Removed the width, this forces the browser to use the actual image width, up to screen width of 100% for mobile, which is coded into the CSS.
Deleting an Image
To delete the image click the trash can, the image is permanently removed from the servers.
Undo, will not restore the image, the image must be uploaded again.
Cut and Paste will not work, the image will be deleted on the cut event, instead drag the image to move it.
To help, there is a message displayed when an image has been deleted:

The browser/cloudflare will cache the image, so even though it has been deleted it will still load, the only way to check this is to load the guide from incognito on another server.
Add syd. bri. or mel. in front of microkeeper in the URL.
Ideally this should be done just once, at the end of the editing session, or else cloudflare will cache the image from the alternative sub-domain too.
Use clever HTML to break up huge slabs of text.
Eg
Or maybe
| Even | A | Table |
| When | Deemed | Appropriate |
