Push

Aspect ratio Image quality Notes
2:1 aspect ratio (recommended) 1038px by 1038px maximum As of January 2020, iOS rich push notifications can handle images 1038px by 1038px as long as they are under 10MB, but we recommend using as small a file size as possible. In practice, sending large files can cause both unnecessary network stress and make download timeouts more common.

Android rich notifications do not support GIFs.

Accessing the Media Library from a message composer

The Media Library acts as your dashboard’s centralized location for assets, as all images are uploaded directly to it. This lets you re-use images across different messages.

Two common ways of accessing the Media Library depending on the message composer. One shows the email Drag and Drop Editor with the title "Images and GIFs" and a button to "Add from Media Library". The other shows the standard editors, such as push and in-app messages, with the title "Media" and a button to "Add Image".

Generate an image using AI

You can generate images for your Media Library using DALL·E 2, an AI system from OpenAI that can create realistic images and art from a description in natural language. Each request generates four variations of your prompt, and your company can generate images 10 times per day. This total applies to all users in your company.

  1. From the Media Library, click AI Image Generator.
  2. Enter a description of the image you want to generate, up to 300 characters. The more detailed the description, the better your result.
  3. Click Generate Images. It can take about a minute for images to generate.
  4. Click on the images you like to add them to your Media Library.
