# 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.
