Higgings 1824 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I've seen lately many profiles in the forum which have nice images on their profile background. I decided to put one too, but the image always results as really small. Someone can help me to clarify the size of the image needed to cover my profile's background? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Owl 210 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) The image's resolution depends on your own preferences. How it looks in your profile, however, depends on the screen it's viewed on. For example, if your background image is 640x480, it will show up in the top-left corner on a 1920x1080 display. In other words, it doesn't stretch. You can tile the image in the settings but that's good for patterns only, as it says there too.

Higgings 1824 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 I'd like the imagine to cover the whole background of my profile. I'd just need to know the size that allows me to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akasha 2058 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 @Ninjaowl I have a new artistic challenge, let me know me if you feel interest. @Higgings I suggest you look for wallpapers, then chose one that you like. Usually they fit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Perhaps I've found something. Let's hope it fits well. *Crossed Fingers* Edited December 4, 2016 by Higgings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasha 2058 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) well, Idk the minimum size to cover the whole bg., but you can take it as base or check other profiles. My image has 2000x1014 pixels Edited December 4, 2016 by Aкasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Owl 210 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Let me show you how this works: I have a picture from Google. It's resolution is 800x600. Here is how it looks on a display with the same resolution: Now, here is the same background with 1920x1080 resolution display: So basically, until we get stretching background images your best bet is to have an image that's as large as possible.
