Thank you for doing this! I'm sure it will be helpful for a lot of furs.

Me too! This kind of stuff is a real pain in the ass for me, and I've done a lot of templating in the past for merchandise and whatnot, so I figured hopefully I can save people some hassle

So is the total length 1850px then, or would it be safer to have it be 1280px? Thanks so much for doing this, I've been trying to find an answer on dimensions for so long!

Happy to help! You want to have your banner fill the whole width, because if you don’t you’ll just have blank space if the window gets super big. The “crop” zones just show you what will be visible at certain common window/display widths so you can plan your banner accordingly. So, you don’t want to put anything important in the far right because that’s going to get cut off a lot of the time!

Gods, thank you SO MUCH!! I really appreciate all your work into this, it really helps! <3 Big preesh, friend!

Thank you very much for making this. It really helps with making Banner art.

Glad it helped! Gotta stick together! 😊

You'll be happy to hear that googling "FurAffinity header resolution" lists your submission as the top result :>

Holy shit. Well that explains why this is my most popular post ever. Jesus

Its pretty frustrating it doesn't center the banner to crop "less" important parts, or let you upload different versions for different platforms

Being able to upload different versions for different platforms would be a welcome option, but in terms of alignment/cropping, there's always going to be some variance in what can and can't be seen; there's no real perfect solution for banner sizing. Honestly, aligning to the left is probably the best option for this particular implementation because the leftmost side will always be seen regardless of window width, so it's the most predictable. In any case, I hope the template helps 😊

I suppose so, though if you want text you can't have in centered. I just uploaded a banner I quickly threw together and its alright and it works on mobile, but I would prefer it centered.

Anyway thank you for the guide it helped a ton

Glad it helped! 😊

Tysm for making this template!! Used it to make my new profile banner and managed to keep it mobile friendly too :D

More than welcome, glad to hear it!

This is awesome, an absolute lifesaver - thanks so much for this! <3

Very welcome! Here's to good graphic design! :9

thanks a bunch! Gotta use it to make a new banner

Awesome! Glad to help 😊

Thank you so much for making this, this has been super helpful for getting my banner the exact right crop size for this site.

It was absolute hell having to manually get the exact correct pixels spot on with a cropping software

Glad I could help! :9

thank yoooou 🫶

Very welcome! Your art's dope by the way, I really like Levitate

thank you!

Please, does anybody know which are the best specs for export? Even if the banner respects the suggested resolution and export format, the banners looks always pixelated when viewed from mobile. I'm really curious how the FA home banner was exported, because the result is so clean and detailed <3

As near as I can tell, when you upload your banner image, FA generates a lower-resolution version of your banner image and pulls that up for mobile browsers, presumably to reduce bandwidth on mobile. This is something that doesn’t have an associated option anywhere that I can find, but the dimensions in the template are correct despite the resolution change.

What type of app/program you'd need to make the image the exact banner size? Those I tried didn't work TwT

Any image editor at all should be able to create a document using the dimensions of the image here. There are too many to go into, so do a Google search for “[App] create document from clipboard” where [app] is your image editor of choice. Right-click the image and “copy image”, then follow the instructions you found to create a new document using the image. Then create your banner using the guides of the template.

Managed to do it with picsart. It doesn't look perfect but it is a start. Thanks ^
