Images

Images are the most used family. Moiki accepts JPEG, PNG and WebP, up to 2 MB per file.

Importing an image

On top of the sources common to all media (your device, drag and drop), images add an online search on Unsplash. See The media library.

Made lighter automatically

On import, Moiki resizes and recompresses your images to save the story’s storage: 1200 × 900 px at most. An image that is already light is kept as it is, so it never gets heavier.

Animated images

An animated WebP is kept as it is, with all its frames: it is neither resized nor made lighter, only the 2 MB limit applies. In the editor, an animated image stays frozen on its first frame and only plays on hover, so the gallery stays readable. The player plays it normally.

Once imported, an image can be cropped from its detail pane, without importing the file again.

Where an image can be used

An image from the library can fill three different roles:

• The image of a sequence: shown with the text, before or after it. Readers can often tap it to see it larger.
• The background image of a sequence: behind the text. A sequence cannot have both a background image and a background video. One replaces the other.
• The cover of the story: the backdrop of the title screen, in 16:9. See The cover.

The image of a sequence and its background are independent. A sequence can carry both, the image showing on top of the background.
