If you are not familiar with how to create images for web use, consult your web developer or logo designer for guidance. To fit properly in the player, use these specs:

  • Image format of jpg or png

  • At least 1140 pixels wide by 720 pixels high

Our online image editor will help you size and crop.

Start by signing into your account on ViewMedica.com. If you don’t remember how to sign in, see our logging in tutorial.
