Do we have to resize the images before we use them in our portfolio? They work fine, but there seems to be a spacing image int he mobile view....

8,128 PointsIt's generally a good idea to upload images that are as close to the size you want them to appear on your webpage. Resizing (reducing the size of) a larger image with code once it has been uploaded can make your page load slower and use up more bandwith, while uploading an image that is too small and scaling it up will cause it to pixilate.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 Points@Daniel, that’s an excellent tip. I am not so familiar with picture size but how do you determine the size of the page page and that of the picture? Like say you have a div where you want to put a background picture how do you measure both. I hope my question is understandable.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 17,305 PointsI would think that you can be able to resize them using CSS. Have you tried that?
