Images

Best Practices

When uploading images, please ensure they’re in the PNG format, and that they’re of a high quality. We recommend compressing images using Squoosh, and OxiPNG.

We accept images as direct URLs, or as base64 encoded data.

When using base64 encoded data, please ensure the data is URL safe. When using direct URLs, please ensure the URL is publicly accessible.

Use different images for each platform, and overlay text with instructions on how to get to the back of the pass.

We validate the image format and size when you upload an image.

Shared Images

To facilitate the creation of passes, we accept images that are shared across multiple platforms.

Please note that in some cases, images may be cropped or resized to fit the platform’s requirements, so for best results, we recommend uploading variants optimized for each platform.
