How to write alt text, produce accessible diagrams, choose images and copyright standards for GOV.UK.  Where possible, publish your diagrams using the SVG image format - this will allow users to zoom in and out.

The basics

Sizes required

Images must be 960 x 640 pixels in dimension to be used on GOV.UK. This is a landscape orientation.

Pixel meaning

A pixel (a word invented from 'picture element') is the basic unit of programmable colour on a computer display or in a computer image. Think of it as a logical, rather than a physical, unit of measurement. 

No special design skills needed

You don't need graphic design skills or software to resize images to the required specifications.
