Weblog: Best Image Sizes

Note: This article is primarily posted for Weblog Writer.

Make sure your blog images display optimally by using recommended image sizes. Learn about the best image sizes for:

• Blog post images 

• Cover images 

• Post List and Recent Post elements 

It is good to use an image size less than 1000 X 1000 pixels for the images in your blog. This does not apply to images that you want to use as the cover image or thumbnails for your Post List.

Cover images appear in blog feeds and other blog elements. This is what readers see when they're scrolling through blog before they select a post. As they do not appear on a full page, it's recommended to use a slightly smaller image than for the rest of your blog post images.

The best size for cover images depends on your blog layout.

• Side by side: Varies according to the options you selected:

  • Regular: 940 x 726 px (Ratio: 9 x 7)

  • If you disable comments: 940 x 612 px (Ratio: 17 x 11)

• Tiled / Brick:   

  • Minimum size: 940 x 186 px (Ratio: 15 x 3)

  • Maximum size: 940 x 1456 px (Ratio: 9 x 14)

• Magazine / Postcard: 940 x 940 px (Ratio: 1 x 1)

• Editorial: 940 x 534 px (Ratio: 16 x 9)

• One Column: 940 x 400 px (Ratio: 21:9)
