# Recommended Image Dimensions for Banners

### Why This Matters

Many merchants run into issues with banners being cropped which can be a hassle to deal with, but preventing this issue is as simple as matching your image’s aspect ratio to the height setting you choose. When the aspect ratio of the allocated image space is identical to your image aspect ratio, you ensure that no unwanted cropping would occur.

When adding banner images, choosing the right dimensions is essential for your site to feel polished.

Below are the recommended dimensions for each height option:

| Height Setting | Optimized Dimensions (W × H) | Higher-Quality Dimensions (W × H) |
| -------------- | ---------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| 3/4 of screen  | 1864 × 650                   | 2479 × 864                        |
| 2/3 of screen  | 1864 × 573                   | 2479 × 762                        |
| 1/2 of screen  | 1864 × 420                   | 2479 × 559                        |
| 1/3 of screen  | 1864 × 308                   | 2479 × 410                        |
| 750px          | 1864 × 750                   | 2479 × 998                        |
| 650px          | 1864 × 650                   | 2479 × 864                        |
| 550px          | 1864 × 550                   | 2479 × 732                        |
| 450px          | 1864 × 450                   | 2479 × 598                        |

The “Optimized Dimensions” are best for improving your site speed, but if a sharper look is what you are going after then consider using the “Higher-Quality Dimensions”.

### **Important Note**

*  You need to disable image parallax from Theme Settings > Layout as it zooms into the image to create a scrolling effect. This leads to unwanted cropping, so consider disabling the parallax effect if it doesn’t fit your store design.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://broadcast.presidiocreative.com/faq/frequently-asked-questions/recommended-image-dimensions-for-banners.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
