Hi! First question, how can I make the size of an image smaller, but not blurry or pixelated? Are there certain dimensions for each layout? I made the size smaller but it was just pixelated, and I want it even smaller. ![19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/e/ed5cdaa604a23b14316479c00a03a22975229bdc.png) ![20](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/b/bca2e4ddccf215c672b06b4c494c890f2afa3a90.png) Also, where are you hosting your image, I am hosting them on Glide, is that good practice? I found when I add an image to my google sheet it did not show up, only when I uploaded it through glide data editor. Thanks! ---

When you add an image on google sheet, are you just copy pasting the image straight into it? It is writing over your cell instead as data isn’t it? When I want to do the resize, I use Cloudinary to put the icon on a white background, essentially resize them by creating a bigger white “border” around them. ---

I add the images as an upload from my computer. I don’t mind uploading to glide data editor, I like it actually but was just wondering what people usually do. Ok, I will try that! Never heard of them, but will take a look. Thanks! ---

Watch this great little tutorial created by @Robert_Petitto to see some magic via Cloudinary.

Hello Thinh, A part of costumize the picture is there any way, within glide or through cloudinary, to reduce the MB so the navigation doesn’t slow down? Many thanks in advance. ---

Which plan do you have? Glide automatically applies cloudinary in some cases to make smaller sized versions of the images, but only in paid plans. ---

I am in a Bussiness plan (legacy). So as far as I understood glide is already reducing the imatges? Many thanks! ---
