In this scenario, you can crop and scale images to customize the way they are shown on tiles if the default tile cropping does not show the proper areas of an image.

Sending smaller or pre-cropped image notifications reduces the amount of bandwith and space requirements for the user. These images will also be scaled more appropriately, resulting in a premium experience for the user.

Images which have the wrong aspect ratio are automatically resized and cropped to fit on the tile template. Images that will appear on tiles must be in .png, .jpg, .jpeg, or .gif format and can have a maximum size of 200KB and dimensions of 1024x1024. Images that exceed the dimensions or filesize will not be displayed on tiles.

Select an image that will be copied to this app's local folder.

Images can be autoscaled and cropped, scaled, or cropped.
