They can be any shape, it's just often they're presented in a circular way. 🙂 It's the same with avatar images on PowPing: they're shown as squares with rounded edges.
You can mint those with BSVTokens.net, it's just that website shows them in circular/oval shape -> that's just a design choice for the website. 🤓 They could be shown as squares just as well.
Oh I didn’t realize that. So minting with BSVtokens.net doesn’t require a circular format? I’ve been making circles bc I thought that was a req haha
So, if I make a rectangular art piece, can I mint it as a rectangle and make it appear as a full rectangle on BSVtokens and MB wallet? I did notice Cflip’s cards appear, but still within the circle.
:-) Maybe the website should have detailed instructions about best practices for token images. By making them circles you haven't done any damage, as the visually important part is always visible if it's at the center.
Unfortunately you can't decide how the art piece is presented on those websites... At least not yet. Here's an explanation why:
