go away seb 367 May 23, 2012 Share May 23, 2012 Basically, I want to make my own background for my profile, but what size do I make it. I am aware that the picture cannot be over 255KB, but what is a good size so I can make it look at least half decent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lightning Da Cute 619 May 23, 2012 Share May 23, 2012 You can use a off website resource like Photobucket to upload it. There you have no limit on file size But the real problem is getting to right dimensions. I'm the Son of Celestia And when i'm King who else did you think would be Queen?

LowfatEnvelope 335 May 23, 2012 Share May 23, 2012 I just made mine 1280 X 1023 and it seems to work. Granted though it's just a gradient so i don't know if that would work for what you're doing 1 ~L.F.E.~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,526 May 23, 2012 Founder Share May 23, 2012 There is no limit on the dimensions your profile background can be. The background is centred and the forums are exactly 1000 pixels wide, so that's all you need to keep in mind. Personally, I would recommend making a background that is at least 1920x1200 pixels wide, which should look decent on just about all common monitor resolutions. When designing it, put a 1000-pixel block in the middle on another layer so you know what part of it the forums will cover up. 1 Avatar credit: robinrain8 Signature credit: Kyoshi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-topic: it also looks like off-site backgrounds were enabled, when they shouldn't be.
