Hey everyone,
I just signed up here and want to start creating some nice background as my first submission 
After searching in the forms I wasn’t able to get a desired answer so that’s why I’m creating this thread.
What would be the best & most popular pixel dimension for a high quality background?
Everybody seems to have their own view on this and would love to hear yours…
Thanks,
Ben
No idea… I’ve always used 3000x1800px
2560x1600 px
3000x2000 px
1920x1080 px
1600x900 px
I’ve used all of these but I think 2560x1600 px and 1920x1080 px are the most popular.
Thanks!
That’s what I was looking for
I would say create the largest possible (within reason) and then offer various resolutions for each file. The ones graphic mind pointed out a pretty standard.
Cheers
Chris
I would say its a personal preference thing, Obviously you don’t want to be doing them in a small resolution like 800x600 if you’re going to be selling them on the marketplace but the above suggestions are good. I would work as big as you can but not overly big Just enough so that you have the option to downsize to the standard resolution sizes if you wish to sell them like that or have the choice of selling the larger copy.
Perhaps it might be an idea to take a look at 10 - 20 of the top sellers in the backgrounds category to get an idea of what sizes they are using and including and then from there you can decide what resolution you want to use for the end product for sale.
For reference here are common desktop resolution sizes -
Widescreen:
1024x600
1280x800
1366x768
1440x900
1600x900
1680x1050
1920x1080
1920x1200
2560x1440
2560x1600
Standard:
800x600
1024x768
1280x960
1280x1024
1400x1050
1600x1200
2560x2048
I’ve noticed 3000x2000 is the standard
