Image Size Policy

!> There is a 1Mb file size limit for each individual JPG, PNG, and GIF image.

GitPitch encourages image size optimization as a best practice for the efficient loading and rendering of slide decks. Image size limits are enforced for decks published on gipitch.com.

Offline Size Limits

By default, GitPitch Desktop enforces the same image sizes limits as those enforced when publishing slide decks to the GitPitch Cloud. This is to ensure you are aware of any potential breaches of policy before you publish. However, you can disable these limits for offline content. For details see the Image Compression Tool Guide.

Online Size Limits

GitPitch enforces image sizes limits for slide decks published online at gitpitch.com. These limits exist to ensure GitPitch slide decks viewed online can be efficiently loaded and rendered within the browser. A 1Mb file size limit is enforced for each individual JPG, PNG, and GIF image.

These file size limits apply to all local image content displayed on your slides. Images loaded from external URLs are not subject to size limit restrictions.

The gitpitch.com server automatically detects, rejects, and reports local images that exceed the size-limit directly within your slide decks. For example, the following screenshots show how inline and background images that exceed the 1Mb size limit are reported directly within their respective slides:
