Modal in-app messages

Modals appear in the center of the device’s screen with a screen overlay that helps it stand out from your app in the background. These are perfect for not-so-subtly suggesting that your user take advantage of a sale or giveaway.

Two modal in-app messages side-by-side, detailing the image and text recommendations. See following sections for details.

Image and copy behavior

Modal in-app messages are designed to fit the device at the best and most filling ratios possible, while staying true to the size and ratios of your chosen image or copy for your message.

  • All images must be less than 5 MB.
  • We only accept PNG, JPEG, and GIF file types.
  • We recommend that your images be 500 KB.
Layout Asset Size Notes

Tall or narrow images will scale down and be horizontally centered. Wide images will be clipped on the left and right edges.

You should always preview and test your messages on a variety of devices to ensure that the most important areas of your image and message appear as expected.

On a tablet or desktop browser, a modal in-app message will still sit in the center of the app screen as shown in the following screenshot.
