Hero Images


A Hero Image is a large, visually prominent banner placed at the top of a page. It is designed to introduce the page’s primary topic and set the visual tone.

We offer two size options along with multiple style variations to accommodate different content needs and layout types.

Use a Hero Image when:

  • You want to clearly introduce a major section or landing page

  • The page benefits from strong visual impact

  • You need a headline and optional supporting text over an image

Hero Images should be used thoughtfully and sparingly. Not every page requires one.

 

Hero Image Cropping Guidance

A new hero image guide and templates will be added to the Web Support site to help editors properly crop hero images. Although hero images are uploaded at 2600×1400 pixels, only a portion of the image is visible on screen, making proper composition especially important when people appear in the photo.
