PIV HOA website photos and graphics, hereafter referred to as images, guidelines focus on using high-quality, professional-looking, and appropriate imagery to showcase the community, typically requiring JPEG/PNG/PDF formats, landscape orientation, and optimized file sizes for fast loading. Images should accurately represent amenities, with high resolutions (e.g., 2048×1536 pixels) for clarity. Content must be appropriate, avoid featuring specific residents or private information, and adhere to copyright laws.
