Guide: Formatting Images For Display On Behance

Updated

Project Image Suggestions

JPEG/PNG Images 2800px wide or smaller under 10MB

Technical Requirements

File Types:

  • JPEG (Recommended)
  • GIF (only for project content, not project covers)
  • PNG

[.pdf, .psd, .tff, and .doc files aren't compatible.]

Image Width:

We display images all images at 1400px wide in the Project View and up to 2800px in the Lightbox View which is triggered when you click on an image. Images under 1400px wide will be displayed at their native uploaded sizes however, we add padding to the left and right of these images to make projects look consistent in Project View.

File Size:

We recommend uploading images that are 10MB or smaller. Larger images may take longer to upload to Behance and will typically load slower for viewers of your project. We do not accept images larger than 50MB. If you're experiencing issues uploading a Banner or Cover image, please check that your computer's clock is set to Automatic and try again.

RGB vs. CMYK:

Because computer and mobile screens are RGB, any images in the CMYK color space must be converted to RGB. We do accept CMYK images, but we convert them in order to display them. As a result of this conversion, the colors in your images may appear different.

PDF Uploads

We do not accept PDF uploads. We recommend converting the pages of your PDF to an image file, in order to display on Behance. 

We do support embedding from the PDF viewing site Scribd.com. You can create an account on Scribd, upload your PDF, and embed it within a Behance project. 

Image Quality Tips

If you've uploaded a file and noticed a difference in quality, we recommend troubleshooting by:

  1. Reducing the file size to 1mb or below
  2. Converting the image to the opposite file type (JPEG/PNG)
  3. Check if your image is in the RGB or CMYK color space
