Reduce file size when possible to minimise mobile data use
🔥 Important

🖼 How images are used
Images behave differently depending on where and how they are used in the platform.
Some images are reused:
One uploaded image can appear in multiple places. For example, an activity cover may show up in the 'Spotlighted activity', to-do list, search results, and within a journey.
Other images adapt to devices:
Some images are used only once but may look different depending on your device. This is called responsive behaviour: images are scaled or cropped to fit various screen sizes.
Sometimes both apply:
Some images are reused in multiple places and behave responsively.
