What is the recommended image size for a banner?

Width guidelines for full-width and in-column banner images.

Last updated About 7 hours ago

Upload sharp originals; Homage resizes for each screen. These widths are starting points, not strict limits.

Full-width banners

  • Desktop: 1600–2400 px wide (72 dpi). Height depends on your layout and text.
  • Mobile-only banner: 640–800 px wide. Can go down to 320 px, but slightly larger files look sharper when scaled down.

When using separate desktop and mobile banners, see Using separate banners for desktop and mobile.

Images inside columns

For a banner inside a multi-column section, aim for 1.5–2× the width it displays at. Example: half of a ~1600 px page ≈ 800 px image width.

Keep files lean

Large uncompressed files slow the store. Compress before upload — tinypng.com is a simple free option. Set a focal point on busy photos so crops stay centered on mobile.
