Common image sizes on Stanford Sites

General

If you wish to add an image at the same size/aspect ratio of your original image, use a Text Area Paragraph to add the image to your page. This option should always be used if your image contains important information.

The Text Area Paragraph will also allow you to choose from several other standard sizes as well as giving options to open an image modal. For more information, visit our guide to working with images and other media.
