Using the correct image dimensions is one of the easiest ways to improve website performance. Oversized images waste bandwidth and slow loading; undersized images look pixelated. This guide gives you the optimal dimensions for every web use case.
| Use Case | Dimensions (px) | Aspect Ratio | Max File Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hero Banner | 1920 × 1080 | 16:9 | 200 KB |
| Blog Featured | 1200 × 630 | 1.91:1 | 100 KB |
| Content Image | 800 × 600 | 4:3 | 80 KB |
| Thumbnail | 300 × 200 | 3:2 | 30 KB |
| Avatar/Profile | 400 × 400 | 1:1 | 20 KB |
| Icon | 64 × 64 | 1:1 | 5 KB |
💡 Key Insight:
Don't use a 4000px image and let CSS scale it down. Resize to actual display dimensions first - this alone can reduce file size by 75%.
| Image Type | Dimensions | Notes |

| Category Banner | 1920 × 400 | Wide, horizontal |
