Preparing your content

• Image types & sizes

  Format Maglr allows users to upload and work with several different formats of images in our editors, although some work better in situations compared to others. Below is a list of these formats and their uses: JPEG: For regular photography and images that you have found or downloaded online. Could be an image taken from a camera, or an image found on the internet such as a background image.

• Video types & sizes

  Format When using videos in Maglr, we usually only recommend one format of video to use. We recommend using the MP4 format for videos. This format allows for flexibility in settings of quality, but also maintains a good file size for usage in many situations. MP4 is universally used for many applications. If you have created a video, even platforms such as YouTube recommend it when uploading videos, allowing the easy integration. Resolution Resolution in a video is similar in tSome readers

• Audio formats

  Format The only format we recommend using is MP3. MP3 by default -when you're downloading or rendering- has good file sizes and audio quality for listening. Almost every audio file you come across the internet or device is typically in an MP3 format, even in videos. Bitrate Bitrate is similar to the data rate in videos.

It is the most commonly used font file type and is known for its flexibility and all-roundPopular

• Reducing video file size

  Large video files are slow to upload and download. The maximum size for a video upload in the Maglr library is 50MBs. One of the most popular tools that can significantly shrink the file size without losing quality is HandBrake. Handbrake HandBrake is a free and open-source transcoder for digital video files and is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. It can convert video from nearly any format, e.g. .wmv, .avi, .m4v, .mov, etc. ![Image: reducing video file siSome readers
