Source image file
The images you upload to SmartFrame should be in either JPEG, TIFF, PNG or WebP formats. SmartFrame currently supports images with a maximum resolution of 100MP and a maximum file size of 50MB.
These images are stored in the secure SmartFrame Cloud and are processed so that they can be streamed at multiple resolutions to different devices. A smartphone, for example, will typically be less demanding than a desktop computer with a high-resolution display. This system allows for images to be delivered as efficiently as possible, without sacrificing image quality.
To get the most out of the Hyper Zoom feature, you should aim to upload images with a minimum measurement of 7,680px across the longest dimension. This will ensure that the feature can work across a range of displays and devices.

| Image load speed | Fast – all images are cached in advance | Fast, assuming images are precached
While load speeds are slower if images are not precached, thi |
