Frequently Asked Questions

The best image format depends on your use case. Use PNG for transparency or crisp edges (e.g., UI, icons), JPEG/JPG for photos and banners that need smaller file sizes, and GIF for simple animations or loading placeholders. For modern browsers, consider WebP or AVIF for even better performance. Compare formats here.

Always use the smallest image size that fits your layout, compress images with the right format, and enable lazy loading (loading="lazy") for non-critical images. Leverage CDN delivery for rapid loading worldwide and use descriptive alt text for SEO. Get more performance tips.

Add meaningful alt text to every image, use color combinations with high contrast, and choose legible font sizes. Ensure your images meet WCAG standards for contrast and ARIA compliance. Learn about accessible images.

Yes! Imageslot allows you to combine any supported features in a single API call. For example, you can set a custom background color, overlay bold text, pick your font, and choose the output format all at once. See our API Reference for details.

Avoid using images that are much larger than needed (hurts speed), low-contrast color combos (hurts accessibility), or omitting alt text (hurts SEO and usability). Always test your images on different devices and check your URLs for typos. See troubleshooting guide.

Blurry images are usually caused by using a too-small size for a large display area, or by excessive compression. If an image doesn't display, double-check the API URL, parameters, and filetype. For high-DPI screens, use 2x or 3x size images. See sizing best practices.

Imageslot image URLs can be used in any platform that supports external images, including WordPress, React, Vue, Figma, and more. Simply copy the API URL and use it as the image source, or follow our integration guides for step-by-step instructions. Tools like the color picker and font previewer help ensure your images fit perfectly in any environment.

Absolutely! Just double (or triple) the requested size in your API URL to match 2x/3x pixel density. For example, if your design is 400x200, use 800x400 for retina. Your image will look crisp on all devices. More tips in our sizing guide.
