👀 Why Do I Need an Image?
Your main event image is your first chance to stand out in our listings.
Our data shows that a good-quality image can boost views of your event by up to 10x. 🚀
In high-traffic areas of our website, we may not show events that don't have a good-quality image uploaded.
To get the most from Skiddle's promotional services, we strongly recommend uploading an image for every event you list. 📸
To upload an image, simply select a .jpeg or .png file from your computer when prompted.
📐 File Requirements
When uploading your event image, keep the following requirements in mind:
📦 Maximum file size: 10MB
🖼️ File types: .jpeg or .png
📏 Image dimensions: between 800px × 800px and 1024px × 1024px
You'll be able to crop your image during the upload process, and we'll automatically resize it where needed.
💡 Tip: Using an image within the recommended dimensions helps ensure it looks sharp and high-quality across all areas of Skiddle.
⭐ What Images Work Best?
Simple, clear images work best.
Good examples include:
🎤 A photo of an artist performing at your event
🏷️ Your event or brand logo
📸 A high-quality, professional image that represents your event
Good Image Examples:
Avoid using complicated flyers or posters as your main event image. These can become unclear and difficult to read when displayed at smaller sizes.
🎨 Top tip: Keep your full event flyer for the Flyer Upload and use a simple artist image or logo as your Cover Image.
⚠️ Why Has My Image Been Flagged?
Around 95% of image flags are caused by one of the following issues:
📝 Too Much Text
Text should take up less than 20% of your image and remain legible when displayed at a smaller size, such as on the Skiddle mobile app or within an advert.
Flyers are great for providing event information, but your main event image should ideally feature a simple logo or artist image.
📐 Incorrectly Cropped or Stretched Images
Make sure your image is clear, correctly cropped and not warped or stretched.
Your image is a big part of your event's first impression, so make sure it looks professional and represents your event exactly how you want it to. ✨
🔍 Low-Resolution Images
Avoid pixelated or low-quality images.
If you notice grainy lines around text or fuzzy edges, try uploading a higher-quality version.
💡 Remember: Your event image is one of the first things customers see, so make it count! 👀
