Header Images in a Schedule Session
The header image for a schedule session will appear at the top of the screen, above the session name, date, times, location, and description/details.
The ideal size is 640px wide, 240 px tall. Please upload .jpg or .png file.
Map Images
Map image files (.jpg or .png) should be larger than 1000px wide, 1000px tall. We recommend map images to be smaller than 2000px wide, 2000px tall, however.
This is to reduce file size. A smaller guide will take less time for users to download, and it will update faster when attendees use your guide throughout your event.
Sponsor Banner Ads
These banners appear at the bottom of the drawer navigation menu.
The ideal image size is 600px wide, 110px tall. Please upload a .png or .jpg file.

Check your Image Size
Incorrect image size is the greatest impediment to successful uploads. We encourage you to upload your image at http://picresize.com/ and confirm its dimensions. You can also check image size on your own computer:
Mac: Click the image, and hit command + I. In the overlay that pops up, click "More Info" to see the dimensions
Windows: Find your image, right click and show Properties. Go to the Details tab and scroll to the images portion.

I'm wondering why thumbnail images must be 240x240 when they are displayed so small in the app. Normally I would crop them out of the 240x640 masthead, but that would make them much smaller than 240x240.
