Image Guidelines
Images should be at least 900 pixels wide and 450 pixels tall. This will ensure that your images are high resolution on all device screens. There is no mandated aspect ratio, but landscape orientation is recommended.
Never use images that are smaller than the dimensions above. It is OK to use images that are larger, so long as they're not excessively large. We recommend no larger than double the dimensions above.
Please select images that are visually compelling and add value to the information on your page.
You may only use images that are legally sourced. For example, you are not allowed to select images from a Google search and add them to the UMB website. Please abide by copyright laws.
Need photos? CPA is your source for videography, official portraits, and general photography.
Please also familiarize yourself with the guidelines for image accessibility.
