FAQs

Q: How can I show images larger or smaller in Supersize?

A: In the Lightbox tab you can change the Image Size setting to load a different size in lightbox view. If you choose ‘Default’ then the original size of the image when it was uploaded will be used.

You can change the size of images loaded in Lightbox view with the Image Size option.
