When creating quizzes with images on Sporcle, it's important to use the correct image dimensions to ensure your quiz displays properly. This guide covers the essential image sizing requirements for the most common quiz types.
Multiple Choice Quizzes
Answer Images
- Ideal size: 275 × 150 pixels (fits the precise dimensions of the buttons)
- Maximum size: 275 × 150 pixels - do not exceed these dimensions
- If using smaller images, keep identical dimensions between all choices within each question
Clickable Quizzes
Standard Images
- General guideline: 200 pixels in either width or height
- All images within a question should have identical dimensions when possible
Full-Width Strip Exception
- For narrow strips across full quiz width: Up to 918 × 150 pixels
- This is useful for quizzes like sorting challenges or timeline formats
- See example: Map Sorting Blitz: US
Map & Picture Click Quizzes
Single Image Requirements
- Maximum width: 920 pixels
- Uses only one image for the entire quiz
General Guidelines
Best Practices
- Hosting: Use reliable services like Imgur instead of hotlinking to external URLs
- Quality: Maintain original aspect ratios when resizing to avoid distortion
- Consistency: Keep similar dimensions within each question for professional appearance
What Happens to Oversized Images
- Images larger than the maximum dimensions may be automatically scaled down
- This can result in quality loss - always aim for recommended dimensions
