Big images (> 200Kb) will make your website considerably slower.Small images load much faster. After the upload you can shrink the image using the image editor.

Animated GIFs

Animated GIFWhen uploading an image to our servers, the image will be checked for errors and be resized for optimal display on the web. Unfortunately this procedure breaks GIF animations.
