If your image doesn't fit these specifications, it will not properly fit within the slide.
The recommended image size is calculated as the optimal size across many possible screen sizes (PC monitors of differing sizes, Mac, mobile, tablet, etc.)
After you have chosen your image, you will notice another customization option become available: Add alt text.
Adding alt text is a good way for your to include addition descriptions that will appear just beneath your icon. You can add up to 255 characters to this alt text feature
Heading
This section includes a text box allowing for the customization of a content heading. This heading will be positioned above the Text that describes the product being displayed in the Offer. For the Heading, we recommend something attention grabbing and catchy to capture the eye of customers.
Text
This section includes a text box allowing for the customization of a content description. This will be positioned below the Heading and serves to describe the Offer being advertised in the block. We recommend using a short and succinct message here, if any at all.
