Profile Size

[carlin]

So i'm trying to be fancy with my profile but I don't know what size to make the background. 900 pixels wide seemed to work but then I looked closer and it was too short.

So what is the best width and height for profiles.

Re: Profile Size

800x1200? might need to be longer depending on what is on your profile

Re: Profile Size

960 width
as much as you want height
as long as it is smaller in size than 512Kb

If you look in the style editor it says that the max size for a header is 960x200. So for a profile background use 960 for the width and whatever for the height.

942 pixels. That is how wide, right now, a background image is on a profile. If you upload an image wider than 960 pixels, it will be resized to fit that. The 18 pixels are cut off on the right.

Profiles can span 1500–3000 pixels (those are just arbitrary numbers) in height depending on how much information you have on it. (Tokens, long random thoughts or pictures in comments, &c.) Some people can get away with a 2000-pixel background. I had to stretch my height to 3000 because of my two lengthy random thoughts.

You can screenshot and paste and align your profile into an image editor, then crop the image to the profile edges, add some height for some wiggle room, and draw your profile on that. If you have a screenshot of your profile in the image editor, it's much easier to see where everything goes. But things like the "i'm online" icon and the size of your avatar will move information around.
