The perfect size for your steemit cover photo!

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

I saw that you can now put a cover photo for your steemit profile (In settings - public profile settings - cover image URL) and went ahead and quickly added one. The result was messy hence you have no crop or position options. Than I debugged for a second and found the result while inspecting the element.

In the debugger I inspected the cover photo and in the menu selected layout to see the exact size for the photo.

And that's how I got my result of 1354 x 155 pixels. Hope this helps and soon you get a nice cover shot too!

Thank you! 1920 x 155 seems to work well for me too, that way it stays fixed at least up to full-hd resolution monitors.

Great man, thats awesome. Exactly what I was looking for :) I didn't thought about, just looking in the debugger of Chrome... Even its sooo easy

I don't get this at all. I know how to bring up the "inspect element", but where do you crop the section that you want to use? What is this debugger?

Thank you for the description, the dimensions given had to be adjusted but your explanation helped a great deal!

Thanks.

Thanks for this info. It was very helpful. I did a little research and found out that this resolution did not work for me when displaying text on a high resolution screen. Here is my solution for fixing this issue: https://steemit.com/steemit/@vidcha/steemit-cover-image-size-best-size-for-steemit-cover-photo

Sorry, I did not know how to use Markdown to link text back to a URL to reference this Steemit post. Fixed: Now I provide a link back in my above Steemit post for "While other people" text .
