Inserting an image as a link
- Recommended file size is 2MB.
- File types available: JPEG, PNG and GIF.
- Attaching image link at the end of your message will allow a preview on some devices.

JPEG & PNG
- Recommended file size is 600KB (Images over this size will be compressed).

GIF
- Maximum file size is 600KB.
- GIFs should have a max of 3-4 frames per second.
- Recommended pixel size is (480p x 480p) or (480p x 720p). GIF's outside of this ratio may have a cropped preview on some devices.
